Employment and Residential Status of Graduates from a Residential School.

Geruschat, D. R.

Journal of Visual Impairment and Blindness, v87 n6 p234-37 Jun 1993

This survey of 62 graduates of a private residential school for students with blindness found that 79% were placed in competitive employment, supported employment, work activity centers, or day-care programs. Many graduates were not receiving competitive wages. Most graduates lived with their parents and were not looking to change this arrangement. (JDD)
