This article examines selected variables related to the type of postsecondary education experience chosen by young adults with learning disabilities (N=225). A oneway analysis of variance was utilized to identify significant differences between groups participating in alternative postsecondary education experiences. Variables related to use of community resources, community mobility, participation in vocational education while in high school, autonomy, peer influence, and gender were found to be significant factors that differentiate among groups. Recommendations for further research are discussed.
