Consensual validation of educational outcomes for high school students with mild disabilities

This study used survey research procedures to determine the most important educational outcomes perceived by parents, special educators, regular educators, and employers for students with mild handicaps who complete or terminate high school programs in central Iowa. Additionally, this study sought to determine the extent of consensual agreement regarding the importance of a set of educational outcomes between and within the major groups noted above. To assure that educational outcomes were linked to curriculum elements, the Life Centered Career Education (LCCE) curriculum framework was employed as a vehicle for specifying the dependent variables (i.e., educational outcomes). This curriculum is widely used in secondary special education programs nationally.
