Reports on research into the attitudes of eighteen people with learning disabilities at a day centre in Oxford towards their work experience programme, and their preference for full-time or part-time work. The research design incorporated a number of open-ended, yes/no and either/or questions in order to reduce the problems of acquiescence and inconsistency often found when interviewing people with learning disabilities.
