本研究旨在以普查方式探討1993~1996年中學身心障特殊班畢業生之生活適應狀況及需求。受訪者包括智障、視障、聽障、肢障、多重障礙與其化障礙共六類學生，畢業於二十一縣市的127所中學(含八所特殊學校)。共有3,277名受試者完成本調查(占母群體的93.64%)，其中大部分為智障者(2,124名，占65.8%)。調查方法為透過原級任導師親自訪問並填答問卷，如學生無法填答，則由家長代為填答。 本研究主要發現如下: (1)多數畢業生接受調查時未足二十歲，僅極少數已婚(48名，占1.48%)，多數仍在學(1,339名，占43.4%)，少數有專職(983名，占30.5%)，另有少數在家(609名，占18.9%)或正接受職訓(170名，占5.3%)，餘為未回答者; (2)大多數受訪者的生活費用仍抑賴父母; (3)在食衣住行當中，生活費用以食為大宗，最需仰賴他人者則為"行"; (4)人際交往方面，智能障礙與多重障礙者之困難度高於其他類障礙者，但只有智障者之人際困難度隨著智障程度而有變化(愈嚴重，人際關係愈困難); (5)一般而言，受訪者之生活滿意度屬"普通"，然而重障者顯然低於輕障者，肢障與多障者之滿意度低於其他各類障礙者，較特別的是智障者雖然交友困難，但生活滿意度不低，顯示容易滿足的特性;(6)受訪者目前最大的需要是找到工作、繼續學習接受識訓、及較佳的生活品質。 本研究根據調查結果提出若干建議，包括加強在校身心障礙學生的獨立生活訓練及畢業生之追蹤輔導。

　　　　　 This study was to follow up the secondary school graduates of the special classes for the disabled in terms of current status and life adjustment. Subjects were graduates of 1993-96, comprised of the mentally retarded, the visually impaired, the hearing impaired, the physically disabled, the multiply disabled, and the others. They were derived from 126 schools )including 8 special schools) from 21 counties/cities in the Taiwan area. As a result, 3,277 subjects (93.64% of the total population) were derived, among them the majority was the retarded (2,124, accounted for 65.8%), and were interviewed by their previous home class teacher. Subjects or their parents were asked to fill up a questionnaire during or after the interview. The major findings were as follows: (1) in general, while the majority of the subjects were under 20 years of age for the time being 43.4% of them were still in school, 30.5%had a full-time job, 18.9% stayed at home, 5.3% were receiving vocational training, the rest (2.0%) were unanswered; (2) the subjects living expenses mostly depended on their parents; (3) compared to clothing, accommodation and transportation, food clearly consumed most of their expenditure, whereas mobility was the one most depending on others; (4) while the mentally retarded and the multiply disabled had more sociability difficulties than others, it was only the sociability of the retarded, rather than other categories of disabilities, varied with levels of disabilities, the server the worse; (5) in general, the subjects indicated a nearly average degree of life satisfaction; however, the severely disabled showed lower degree of satisfaction than the milder ones; contrary to sociability, the life satisfaction of the retarded was not inferior to other; (6) the greatest need in the present life of the subjects was finding a job, followed by continued learning or training and a better quality of life. It is strongly suggested that, among others, independent living skills training be enhanced in schooling.
