- 10 people remained in the same activity since high school.
- 8 people experienced upward mobility (either “becoming employed while maintaining enrollment in postsecondary education, taking a few classes or being a full-time student, going from a sheltered pre-vocational setting to a supported joy or going from no activities to a supported job”) after high school.
- 16 people experienced a disruption in education or employment.
