What Policies Can The United States Implement In Order To Improve Its Efforts To Transition Those With Learning Disabilities Into The Workplace, Gregory Allen Jones

Theses Digitization Project

The purpose of this project is to examine what strategies can be devised to transition those with learning disabilities into the workforce. This is accomplished by a qualitative review of the history of educational policies and programs used in England, France, Russia, China, Hong Kong, Kenya, and Nigeria. These strengths and weaknesses are compared with the history of policies implemented in the United States, to see what strategies can be used to affect policy changes that will better the chances for employment for those with learning disabilities.
