Popis: | The career development and disability knowledge of 97 students with learning disabilities from three postsecondary institutions in the Midwest was examined through semi-structured interviews. Students with disabilities who were eligible for services while in high school generally did not engage in transition planning as required by federal law. Their career development activities were limited despite having unique career needs. The majority of students had difficulty describing their disability and its impact on their career exploration and planning. For students with learning disabilities at the postsecondary level, career development services should be provided, including training in self-advocacy and career exploration in the first two years. Instruction in career self-management skills should be ongoing. |
