“…Follow-up data from high school special education graduates underscore the need to help students with disabilities increase their level of vocational preparation (Affleck, Edgar, Levine, & Kortering, 1990; Louis Harris & Associates, 1989;Siegel, Avoke, Paul, Robert, & Gaylord-Ross, 1991). In a recent review of the outcome literature, Chadsey-Rusch, Rusch, and O'Reilly (1991) reported that youth with disabilities have about a one in three chance of acquiring full-time competitive employment after leaving school.…”

A special education teacher in a small rural high school instructed 23 students with disabilities in the occupational domain of the Life Centered Career Education curriculum. The students increased their Performance Battery scores from pre to post test, achieving both mastery on the competency tests and a skill level comparable to that of regular education students (n=15). Although the instructed students tended to report increased levels of occupational information from pre to post testing, they did not report fewer barriers to employment or increased vocational identity on the My Vocational Situation test.

Self-perceived equal opportunities for people with intellectual disability

2004

Despite a growing awareness of the need to promote equal opportunities for people with disabilities, little is known about the self-perceived employment opportunities for people with intellectual disability. This study adopted a qualitative approach to examine the issue of 'equalization of employment opportunities' with 18 young working adults with mild intellectual disability who participated in in-depth interviews. Content analysis and a constant comparative method were adopted for data analysis. Our findings revealed that having employment was regarded as being very important by all participants, and 17 participants had had both positive and negative employment experiences, which were mainly related to the workplace interpersonal relationships and the attitude of employers and co-workers. Eight participants might have experienced discrimination at work when employers and co-workers had misconceptions about people with intellectual disability. This study suggested that strategies such as equal opportunities education, natural support from employers and co-workers and disability education for the general public should be adopted to enable people with intellectual disability to have full participation in employment and social integration.

Descriptive data are presented on the employment patterns of youths with mild disabilities who participated in a transition program with an intensive postsecondary component. Data on employment rates, positive and negative job changes, participation in continuing education, and access to benefit packages are reported for 94 youths who participated in the program over a 4-year period. Program participants had favorable outcomes when compared with a national sample, but they stabilized at an entry level of work participation. Their rates of entry into postsecondary education were also greater than the national sample, but advances were nominal.
