Structured abstract:
| Background: | This article explored post-exit outcomes for youth with intellectual or other developmental disabilities 18 months after their transition out of public school. The individuals studied were receiving ongoing supports funded by the state Developmental Disability agency. The research examined individual, family, community, and school variables that predicted whether this population would find paid work in the community. Results indicate that very few of these youth found integrated employment in their communities. The article concluded that the current transition planning model needed to be reconsidered. |
