Rosenkrans, Jaclyn M.2021-05-122021-05-122021-05-11http://hdl.handle.net/11603/21505This study was completed to determine if mathematical, reading, and adaptive living skills can be addressed within a multi-level vocational training program for students of transition age diagnosed with significant cognitive disabilities. This study used a quasi-experimental design comprised of a small group sampling. Participants included six students ages 16-21 previously diagnosed with a significant cognitive disability receiving instruction outside the general education classroom within a public separate day school. The results of this study indicate that vocational training resulted in a positive improvement in mathematics, reading, and adaptive behavior for students with significant cognitive disabilities. It would be valuable for future researchers to implement a similar vocational program in another school setting or for an extended length of time to determine if a greater performance age increase occurs or if the results are comparable to other members of this population.29 pagesen-USThis work may be protected under Title 17 of the U.S. Copyright Law.
