Self-Determination Skills and Opportunities of Transition-Age Youth With Emotional Disturbance and Learning Disabilities
This is the publisher's version, also found here: http://cec.metapress.com/content/l5vq400577228810/?p=7708b4ddb79e4484ae1a1fc3d5bafcb6&pi=4This study examined the self-determination of adolescents with emotional disturbance
(ED) and learning disabilities (LD)from the perspectives of special educators, parents, and the students
themselves. Differences in self-determination ratings were associated with both disability
group and respondent Specifically, adolescents with ED were found to have lower ratings of selfdetermination
than students with LD, with the most pronounced differences evident from the
teacher perspective. Eurthermore, students with ED identified infrequent opportunities at school
and home for engaging in self-determined behavior, whereas educators and parents differed in their
assessments of opportunities in each setting. Implications regarding increasing the self-determination
skills and opportunities of adolescents with disabilities are discussed

The impact of COVID-19 on small business outcomes and expectations
To explore the impact of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) on small businesses, we conducted a survey of more than 5,800 small businesses between March 28 and April 4, 2020. Several themes emerged. First, mass layoffs and closures had already occurred—just a few weeks into the crisis. Second, the risk of closure was negatively associated with the expected length of the crisis. Moreover, businesses had widely varying beliefs about the likely duration of COVID-related disruptions. Third, many small businesses are financially fragile: The median business with more than $10,000 in monthly expenses had only about 2 wk of cash on hand at the time of the survey. Fourth, the majority of businesses planned to seek funding through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act. However, many anticipated problems with accessing the program, such as bureaucratic hassles and difficulties establishing eligibility. Using experimental variation, we also assess take-up rates and business resilience effects for loans relative to grants-based programs. © 2020 National Academy of Sciences. All rights reserved
