John is a 26-year-old man who received special education for most of his schooling. He is currently employed as a night janitor at a brewery. John has worked there for about eight years, having begun on a part-time basis while he was still in high school. He is married and has one child. John began receiving special education while he was in the second grade. During that school year, he was referred for psychological evaluation because he was experiencing severe difficulties in all academic areas. John was administered the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC-R) on which he attained a full-scale IQ score of 68. The report of that evaluation described him as socially immature, but otherwise well-adjusted emotionally. He was subsequently placed in the program for students with educable mental retardation (EMR). Throughout the remainder of elementary school, John spent about half the school day in the special education classroom and the remainder of the day in the regular classroom. While in high school, John enrolled in some regular classes, but continued to receive tutoring and some course work in the special education program. During his last two years, he was in a work-study program and spent half of the day at his job. His intellectual and academic skills have been reevaluated several times with his IQ scores being slightly higher on each subsequent assessment. When he was last evaluated at age 17, John attained a full-scale IQ score of 73. At that time, John's reading and spelling scores were at the 4th-grade level, and his math skills were like those of a 5th-grader. The report of that assessment described him as an average appearing and likeable young man. John is the youngest of four children. Neither of his parents finished high school, and his father worked as an unskilled laborer before he retired. Two of John's siblings were also enrolled in special education programs.
