Abstract
When adults with mental retardation retire, many face the challenges of poor health, poverty, and social isolation. These factors are often predictive of a decreased quality of life among retirees who do not have a lifetime disability and are also likely to be factors effecting the retirement experience for older employees with mental retardation, especially those who work in habilitation settings such as sheltered workshops. Employees with mental retardation need early planning through vocational counseling, recreational planning, and residential programs designed to facilitate a successful transition to retirement.
