| Popis: | Limited research explores the outcomes of postsecondary graduates with learning disabilities (LD). We surveyed 132 graduates with LD of a large, public, competitive, postsecondary institution to determine information about current levels of employment, salary, postgraduate education, and self-disclosure rates in the workplace. Based upon a response rate of 67% ( n = 89), results indicated that graduates were employed at comparable rates and salaries to graduates from the institution at large and to graduates with LD described in similar studies. Levels of employment and salaries exceeded those described in previous studies of individuals with LD who did not graduate from postsecondary institutions. We also provide data on rates of postgraduate education obtainment, types of employment, and rate of employment self-disclosure. |
