Abstract
Recent federal regulations have focused attention on the learning disabled (LD) as the major disability group requiring rehabilitation services during the transition from school to work. In this article, a review of the need for increased linkages between the public schools and state vocational rehabilitation for LD individuals is documented. Some models for increasing cooperation between special educators and rehabilitation counselors also are presented. The importance of functional language arts and math content in school are discussed as a means of meeting the unique needs of learning disabled individuals as they progress from school to work.
