Abstract	This resource paper provides information about postsecondary programs for young adults with substantial learning disabilities and other special needs. The introductory section gives the characteristics of the population and components of selected educational and training programs which seem to be successful. The resource guide then provides parents and professionals some guidelines for recognizing the young person's strengths and weaknesses, and recommendations for teaching them skills necessary to live more independently. Another section, addressed to the young adult, can serve as a worksheet for discussion with parents or other advisers on preparing for independence. A section on programs and resources describes about 35 campus-related programs, transitional residential programs, and vocational rehabilitation centers. A few programs with local appeal are described to encourage the development of such programs elsewhere. Final sections list 4 employment information sources and 13 selected publications. (JDD)
