| Abstract | As the American economy becomes increasingly knowledge based, attaining a postsecondary education is more important than ever. Projections for the next decade suggest that the strongest job growth will be in occupations requiring postsecondary education. This article examines changes between 1987 and 2003 in the postsecondary education enrollment of youth with disabilities who had been out of secondary school up to 2 years, as measured in the National Longitudinal Transition Study (NLTS) and the National Longitudinal Transition Study-2 (NLTS2). It focuses on participation in three types of institutions--2-year/community colleges; 4-year colleges; and postsecondary vocational, technical, or business schools. The article begins with a discussion of change over time in youth's experiences with programs designed to help those who dropped out of high school earn a high school diploma. It continues with an examination of changes in enrollment rates at postsecondary institutions for youth with disabilities as a whole and for youth who differed in their disability category, high-school-exit status, age, gender, household income, and race/ethnicity, when significant. The article concludes with findings regarding changes in the extent to which students attended postsecondary school full- or part-time. (Contains 5 endnotes.) (ERIC). |
