The summer months provide a great
opportunity for all youth, including youth with disabilities to get hands-on job
experience or volunteer in their communities. What can parents, educators and
communities do to make that possible? A 2010 study of the summer employment and
community activities of 136 high school students with severe disabilities
found the most prominent predictors of summer employment status were
holding a job during the spring semester and teacher expectations for
employment. The authors recommend increasing the capacity of schools, families,
and communities to support the involvement of youth with severe disabilities in
meaningful summer activities. http://ecx.sagepub.com/content/76/2/194.abstract
