Title: THE CHALLENGE OF WELFARE DEPENDENCY TO REHABILITATION<sup>1</sup>
Abstract: Abstract The relationship of welfare status and socioeconomic status (SES) to employment outcomes following prevocational programs for mentally retarded young adults was investigated. About three‐fourths of the clients who were neither on welfare nor from the lower SES were successful, about half of the clients who were either on welfare or from the lower SES were rehabilitated, and only about one‐fourth of the clients who were both on welfare and from the lower SES were rehabilitated. The findings suggest the need for continual improvement in strategies for overcoming the vocational deficiencies of highly “dependent” clients.
