title: Employment preparation for high school students with severe handicaps.
abstract: An ecological model for employment preparation in high schools that is based upon successful postschool community job placement for students with severe handicaps was discussed. The functions of employment training were analyzed, the components of a community-referenced model for high school training described, and implications drawn for model utility in relation to curriculum and instruction in high school programs.
