Abstract
The career pathways mandate in South Carolina schools is especially important for students with specific learning disabilities (SLD or LD). The majority of students with LD need extra support throughout the postsecondary planning process, a point that is often inadvertently overlooked by their teachers and support personnel. This paper will elaborate on the career preparation needs of high school students with LD; outline similarities in federal and state mandates regarding career awareness and preparation for students in South Carolina; and discuss the importance of collaboration in teacher education programs and in schools to prepare students with learning disabilities for transition to postsecondary education or employment.
