Speaking from experience, yes, a HS graduate who has been in special education programs is capable of working and earning a wage. I work in a program with students who learn how to get and keep a job. From grades 9-12 they go out to a job site once a week with a job coach. From ages 18-22 they work three days a week with a coach. They are taught using many methods. Some use picture guides, all practice new skills at school. We have two students who have aged out of the program working and earning a wage. Two others are in the post-graduate program but are earning a small wage.

Definitely, you just have to match a job with your strengths and preferences, and make adaptations as needed.
