Millions of dollars have been spent on school-to-work services for students with disabilities over the past two decades. Yet 55% of recent graduates with disabilities are unemployed or under-employed. What needs to be done to change these results? The Grant Wood Area Education Agency has launched the Super Senior project in an attempt to lead today's youth into tomorrow's workforce. Thus far, the results have been impressive. John Nietupski will describe the project in this presentation.
