Looking Ahead

This report on the school completion status of youth with disabilities focuses on the very early years after they leave high school. Because NLTS2 is longitudinal, it offers the opportunity to revisit the question of how graduates and dropouts with disabilities fare as they transition to adulthood, including, for example, whether larger proportions of dropouts eventually earn a diploma or completion certificate or obtain postsecondary education, and how the earnings of graduates and dropouts compare as they have greater experience in the labor market.
