초록

Purpose: Considering that an increased attention has been raised on successful movement from high school into adulthood and an employment is highly associated with the quality of life for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities(IDD), it is important to equip individuals with IDD with the skills necessary to secure meaningful work after high school as an essential outcome of education. Method: This study was designed to compare demographic and psychosocial characteristics between employed and unemployed South Korean high school graduates with IDD using the 2015 panel survey of employment for the disabled. Results: This study found that the employed participants were more likely to be male, college graduates who do not receive supplemental security income benefits. The employers had better social skills and did not need help with daily activities in comparison to those who were unemployed. Also, the employed individuals reported to be more satisfied about life in general and had higher self-esteem than those who were unemployed. Conclusion: Implications for future research and training to improve transition practices specific to students with IDD are provided. The findings of this study will help give secondary special educators and policy makers important implications on transition education in secondary education for students with IDD in South Korea.
