Should they go to a vocational school? Should they work full-time? If they do a vocational program in High School, could they be directly employed upon graduation?

Students who are special needs and identified as such in school should have had transitional planning starting at age 16 to address such issues. Like many typical children, they can start a job track, vo-tech, or continue in public education until 21.
It really depends on the child, the disability and the family. A local developmental disabilities council (every state has one) would be able to help address the issue for parents who are concerned with future planning. Not only education and job, but the caregivers need to look at legal guardianship as well.

Help the student figure out what their options are. The special ed team at the school should be doing this. Usually they have a post-high school plan. Then let the student make the decision! Help them, give them advice, but this should be their choice as much as possible.

It in all probability does not harm you, because of the fact maximum employers might assume that in case you had a college degree, you could desire to have graduated from severe college. notwithstanding if, i don't know of any respected college which might supply you a level and not utilising a level, so graduating from an fairly undesirable college does not help.

I think many places would hire and individual who has special needs.Try your local State dept.- I'm not sure if there are vocational schools that cater to special needs individuals--but maybe check your local community college.

He could go to a community college. Lots of colleges have special ed. departments to help the students.Vocational school is a great idea. Figure out what the person likes to do, and go from there.

If they have the ability to qualiify for admission to a college--that's their choice. And overbearing bureaucrats have no business making the decision for them--or even expressing an opinion. It's none of their business. People with disabilities are human beings--not animals--and certainly not slavs to be assigned work without a free choice.

check with your city, they usually have placement programs for people with disabilities. as far as what they should do either choice, vocational or full time labor is suitable. Maybe ask the person what they want...

If depends on your definition of special needs. If a student has a form of mental retardation, there are communties that provide care and a place for them to work. If they just have learning disabilities, life skills should be stressed and simple jobs such as secretarial work or something that wouldn't be mindboggling. Hope this helps

There are employers that will hire special needs students. We have that program here in Texas. Just check into it with your school or school district.
