| Abstract | The paper examines the prospects of employment for Canadian youth with mental disabilities and offers a model for secondary vocational programing designed to promote the transition from school to work. An introductory section comments on the bleak outlook for employment for students with disabilities and notes the economic and social consequences. The lack of secondary programing initiatives in Canada is noted; programs that do exist concentrate on training students with mild disabilities and academic motivation problems. The need is noted for extending prevocational training into the upper elementary grades and developing structured vocational programs at junior high levels followed by supervised work experience and school-to-work transition programs and senior high school. A comprehensive secondary vocational program model is espoused which includes modules for entry assessment, prevocational skills, work adjustment, work experience, and transition services. The model is designed to help students acquire skills necessary for working and to bridge the gap between students' school experiences and their post-school environment through school-community linkages. The government of Canada's role in promoting an integrated continuum of services is addressed. Six pages of references are appended. (CL) |
