"I work with students with learning disabilities who are preparing for graduation and this workbook is a useful tool in helping them prepare to find meaningful employment.... I love this workbook.... I've been using it for 15 years or more. It's an excellent workbook for career preparation. I haven't had a need to look elsewhere else."
