Exploration of relevant career development constructs can illuminate our understanding of the post-school transition needs and strengths of youth with disabilities. Given the increasing prevalence of these disorders, this study compared the response patterns of 258 adolescents with ADHD and LDs on dimensions of career thoughts, attitudes, and vocational identity. Participants were administered the </span><span class="fontstyle2">Career Thoughts Inventory </span><span class="fontstyle0">(CTI),<br></span><span class="fontstyle2">Career Maturity Inventory –R </span><span class="fontstyle0">(CMI-R), and </span><span class="fontstyle2">Vocational Identity </span><span class="fontstyle0">(VI) to examine the differences in response patterns. Using univariate ANOVA analyses, results showed that levels of VI were significantly related to all CTI subscales and a CMI-R subscale. A diagnosis of LD or ADHD was significantly related to the Decision-Making Confusion (DMC) subscale of the CTI and the CMI-Att subscale of the CMI-R. Implications for practice and future research are discussed.</span></p>}, number={1}, journal={Canadian Journal of Career Development}, author={Dipeaolu, Abiola and Deutch, Samuel and Hargrave, Stephanie and Storlie, Cassandra A.}, year={2019}, month={Jan.}, pages={45–56} }
