  • Title: Six postschool case studies of mildly learning handicapped young adults.
    Author: Zetlin AG, Hosseini A.
    Journal: Except Child; 1989 Feb; 55(5):405-11. PubMed ID: 2924793.
    Abstract:
    Participant observation was conducted for 1 year with six mildly learning handicapped young adults following their graduation from high school. Close attention was paid to the ways in which they managed the transition out of school and into more adult roles. During this year, all six floundered from job to job, class to class, and school to school. They expressed discontent and frustration with their present situation. They were at a loss to plan for the future and maintained an unrealistic appraisal of their skills. Their sense of self waxed and waned in keeping with their prospects, and the patience and frustration of family members vacillated as well.
