A survey of Scottish Spina Bifida Association members born prior to 30th September 1964 was carried out. A personal interview by one of two counselling officers was arranged. Twenty adult members were not available for interview. The remaining 126 were and the data was analysed. The primary, secondary and tertiary educational pattern and attainment are presented, with the pattern of employment of this group of individuals. Many adults had completed tertiary education courses but large numbers were unemployed. Those in employment received salaries lower than would be expected from their educational achievements, despite being reliable employees who required little sick leave and holding down their jobs for several years. Much requires to be done to inform potential employers of the capabilities of this group of people.
对1964年9月30日前出生的苏格兰脊柱裂协会成员进行了一项调查。安排了两位咨询官员中的一位进行个人访谈。20名成年成员无法接受访谈。其余126名成员接受了访谈并对数据进行了分析。文中呈现了这组人的小学、中学和高等教育模式及成就，以及他们的就业模式。许多成年人完成了高等教育课程，但大量人员失业。就业者的薪资低于根据其教育成就预期的水平，尽管他们是可靠的员工，很少请病假且能保住工作数年。需要做很多工作来让潜在雇主了解这群人的能力。
