Madaus, Joseph W.; Foley, Teresa E.; McGuire, Joan M.; Ruban, Lilia M.

Journal of Learning Disabilities, v35 n4 p364-69 Jul-Aug 2002

College graduates (n=89) with learning disabilities (LD) were surveyed to determine if they had self-disclosed to their current employer. Although nearly 90% stated that their LD affected their work in some way, only 30.3% self-disclosed to their employer. Forty-six percent did not self-disclose due to fear of a negative impact.
