There were 496 participants selected in the 2011 and 2012 academic year from the database of Special Needs Education Longitudinal Study. The survey data obtained from questionnaires for teachers, parents, and students were used to conduct secondary analysis. Descriptive statistics such as frequencies and percentages, a PLS structural equation model, and multiple regression were used in this study. The results of this study were as follows: (1) Students with disabilities had the best learning performances in school, and most parents were satisfied with their students\u2019 education in school; however, employment performance was the weakest upon leaving school. (2) School experience factors had the greatest influence on the school learning outcomes model, followed by student factors and family factors. (3) In-school outcomes effectively predicted postsecondary education, employment, social adaptation, and satisfaction after leaving school. In conclusion, the results of this study found that personal, family, and school factors have a significant impact on the learning outcomes of students with disabilities, and in-school outcomes can effectively predict postsecondary education, social adaptation, and satisfaction after leaving school.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/bs13070554","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,5]],"date-time":"2023-07-05T00:53:04Z","timestamp":1688518384000},"page":"554","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["A Follow-Up Study on the Influence of Personal, Family, and School Factors on Learning Outcomes of Students with Disabilities in Senior High School"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Shu-Jou","family":"Sun","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Special Education, National Tsing Hua University, No. 521, Nanda Rd., East Dist., Hsinchu City 300193, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7591-8102","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wei-Sho","family":"Ho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Industrial Education and Technology, National Changhua University of Education Bao-Shan Campus, No.2, Shi-Da Rd., Changhua City 500208, Taiwan"},{"name":"NCUE Alumni Association, National Changhua University of Education Jin-De Campus, No. 1, Jinde Rd., Changhua City 500207, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"157","DOI":"10.3102\/01623737014002157","article-title":"Evaluating effectiveness: A comparison of federal expectations and local capabilities for evaluation among federally funded model demonstration programs","volume":"14","author":"DeStefano","year":"1992","journal-title":"Educ.
