Postsecondary transition needs and employment patterns of individuals with mild disabilities.
Descriptive data on the initial employment patterns of mildly disabled individuals who participated in a postsecondary, time-limited transition program are presented. Results were interpreted to indicate that the participants (a) obtained entry-level positions with varying employee benefits; (b) benefited from periodic yet ongoing support to maintain employment; and (c) requested continued but minimal support to negotiate job changes in the work world. Further research is indicated concerning longitudinal employment needs of individuals with disabilities.
