Abstract
Two followup studies were conducted to investigate the postschool adjustment of educable mentally retarded subjects from the Kansas Work-Study Program and a comparison sample from neighboring school districts. The results indicated that most of these educable mentally retarded students would be employed in the competitive labor market without the benefits of a work study program. Students who had participated in the work study program, however, were graduated more often, held their jobs longer, and earned more money than did the students from the comparison group.Keywords
