Abstract

This thesis studies the use of an experiential entrepreneurship program to help young adults who present with learning disabilities to acquire the skills, attitudes, and self-efficacy to achieve their unique potential and to function autonomously and productively as members of their community. The overarching theme and objectives of the pilot program are making the acquisition of life skills more interesting, engaging, and interactive, and ultimately, more effective in empowering these young adults as they navigate through their lives and able dominated society.
