This book was released on 2008 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Follow-up data was collected on 44 former students of the Marshall Metropolitan High School in Chicago, Illinois. Information regarding the former students' status and experiences in the areas of employment, daily living, social network, personal satisfaction, and use of services and supports was gathered. This study was the first post-school follow-up investigation of former students who received special education services at a large urban high school serving a predominately minority and low socioeconomic population. This study also investigated the perceptions of teachers at Marshall Metropolitan High School regarding findings from the follow-up investigation, particularly in terms of what teachers believe should be retained and changed in the current system of services to youth with disabilities. Findings from this investigation were considered in relation to prior literature related to the school to adult life transition of youth with disabilities. Possible explanations for various findings were explored and critiqued. Additionally, recommendations were made for educators and policymakers responsible for the secondary and postsecondary education of youth with disabilities as well as for future research.

This book was released on 2018-07-16 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Navigating the Transition from High School to College for Students with Disabilities provides effective strategies for navigating the transition process from high school into college for students with a wide range of disabilities. As students with disabilities attend two and four-year colleges in increasing numbers and through expanding access opportunities, challenges remain in helping these students and their families prepare for and successfully transition into higher education. Professionals and families supporting transition activities are often unaware of today’s new and rapidly developing options for postsecondary education. This practical guide offers user-friendly resources, including vignettes, research summaries, and hands-on activities that can be easily implemented in the classroom and in the community and that facilitate strong collaboration between schools and families. Preparation issues such as financial aid, applying for college, and other long-term planning areas are addressed in detail. An accompanying student resource section offers materials for high school students with disabilities that secondary educators, counselors, and transition personnel can use to facilitate exploration and planning discussions. Framing higher education as a possible transition goal for all students with disabilities, Navigating the Transition from High School to College for Students with Disabilities supports the postsecondary interests of more than four million public school students with disabilities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Current research stresses the importance of the transition of students with disabilities into adulthood. Folsom-Meek, Nearing, and Bock (2007) describe the transition process as successful when it culminates from the K-12 setting into postsecondary education or training. Despite recent efforts, the transition process from high school into the adult world still faces challenges for students with disabilities and provided the impetus for the study. The qualitative, phenomenological study explored the attitudes, beliefs, and practices of providers of adult care services regarding their effect on the challenges faced by students with disabilities exiting high school. The study suggests solutions to ease these social concerns. One county in Western North Carolina was the focus of the study. Twenty providers of adult services were interviewed, along with their promotional materials. Data gathering and analysis were designed to identify adult care services providers' best practices regarding youths with disabilities exiting high school and promoting current marketing practices. The interviews revealed unique situations and perspectives while defining and describing adult health care providers' shared concern of services to students with disabilities transitioning from high school to the workforce. Three themes were identified from the data analysis: (a) programs available, (b) current marketing strategies, and (c) additional services needed. Findings indicated a gap in the overall transition process from high school into adult life for young adults with disabilities in western North Carolina. The identified gap is the deficit of available funds at the county and state levels to compensate for the depletion of government funds allotted for individuals with disabilities.

Book excerpt: It is widely recognized that the 12 percent of all youth in American public schools who have disabilities comprise a set of students with distinct capacities and needs. Federal legislation, including the most recent updates to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) in 2004, identifies different disability groups and mandates that students in each group have access to a free and appropriate public education. How youths' characteristics, experiences, and challenges vary by disability group remains of interest, particularly given the changing educational, social, and economic landscape that might affect youth with different disabilities in different ways. The National Longitudinal Transition Study (NLTS) 2012 provides updated information on youth with disabilities in light of these changes, to inform efforts to address their needs. Sponsored by the U.S. Department of Education under a congressional mandate to study IDEA 2004 and the students it serves, the NLTS 2012 describes the backgrounds of secondary school youth and their functional abilities, activities in school and with friends, academic supports received from schools and parents, and preparation for life after high school. Through surveys in 2012 and 2013, the study collected data on a nationally representative set of nearly 13,000 students-mostly those with an individualized education program (IEP) and expected to receive special education services. The study also includes students without an IEP, who either have no identified disability or who have an impairment that does not qualify them for special education but allows them to receive accommodations through a 504 plan under the Rehabilitation Act, another federal law pertaining to the rights and needs of youth with disabilities. This second volume of findings from the NLTS 2012 focuses on youth with an IEP only and the similarities or dissimilarities across 12 disability groups defined by IDEA 2004. The assessment of diversity among the disability groups in the decade following IDEA 2004 suggests several key points: (1) Youth with intellectual disability and emotional disturbance are the most socioeconomically disadvantaged groups and the most likely to attend lower-performing schools; (2) Difficulties with health, communication, and functioning independently are most prevalent among youth with autism, intellectual disability, multiple disabilities, and orthopedic impairments; (3) The groups that most commonly face health and functional challenges are also less engaged with friends and in school activities, but youth with emotional disturbance are most likely to get into trouble; (4) Youth with autism, intellectual disability, and multiple disabilities are most likely to receive academic modifications but least likely to receive some other forms of academic support; and (5) The same three groups--youth with autism, intellectual disability, and multiple disabilities--are least likely to take steps to prepare for college and employment. These findings highlight some differences in the challenges that youth with an IEP faced in the decade after IDEA 2004, depending on their disability. Although the characteristics and experiences described capture only a subset of those discussed in this volume, prior research suggests that they could be important indicators of students' later outcomes. The following are appended: (1) Technical notes and methodology for volume 2: Comparisons across disability groups; (2) Detailed tables for chapter 2 of volume 2: Comparisons across disability groups; (3) Detailed tables for chapter 3 of volume 2: Comparisons across disability groups; (4) Detailed tables for chapter 4 of volume 2: Comparisons across disability groups; (5) Detailed tables for chapter 5 of volume 2: Comparisons across disability groups; and (6) Detailed tables for chapter 6 of volume 2: Comparisons across disability groups.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This case study explores the experiences of students with disabilities who have dropped out of high school, so as to identify related factors that led to their decisions. Participants included both males and females who were designated as students with disabilities at Ridgeville High School (pseudonym for a Virginia high school) and who dropped out between their third and fourth years of high school, during the 2010 to 2014 academic years. All participants were between the ages of 18 and 24. The case study was conducted through the use of semi-structured interviews, journaling, and observation of the sample population, with the aim of identifying common experiences among students who have dropped out of school close to graduation. The results of the semi-structured interviews were examined using reductive qualitative analysis, which included the use of coding and extraction of themes. The study results indicated that the overall sense of belonging of the students was low. The attitude of the students towards themselves, especially the nature of their disability, was another aspect that was found to be a great determinant of the reasons connected with high dropout rates of students with disabilities. The students also believed that more effort is needed from the teachers, their peers and the schools to help them in the school environment.
