Book excerpt: Secondary transition support is an important part of the IEP requirements for high school exceptional children. Designed to help guide students toward their postschool goals, transition support should not only help identify goals but also help prepare them by teaching skills, building relationships, and imparting knowledge of the community they will join after graduation. The researcher completed a program evaluation for the FAST secondary transition support that was put into place in a large school district in North Carolina during the 2016-2017 school year to provide additional support to at-risk exceptional children on the Future Ready Course of Study graduation track. In the fall 2016 semester, the school district implemented a secondary transition support program for repeating and incoming high school freshmen classified as at-risk in five target high schools. The schools received support from the district transition team in the form of professional development, altered school schedules for participating students, student lessons provided by district transition leaders, career-readiness software utilized by participating students during transition preparation time, and a commitment to transitional support in the district for the students until they graduate. The program, titled “FAST,” entered its second year of implementation in the 2017-2018 school year, and the first cohort of students received their second year of services. This study examined the implementation of the program in its initial phases throughout the first two years of the program. This study found FAST had begun to address specific transition needs of students in the district, but still had transition components that needed further development. The study highlighted the strength of staff support but also showed a need for development of program structure. The study also compared the implemented best practices for both new program implementation and secondary transition practices to give feedback to stakeholders on successes and potential drawbacks of the program’s implementation. Using the work of Paula Kohler and other experts in the field, the researcher found that FAST had begun to address several key components of secondary transition such as Student Development and Vocational Education. The study also pointed to program gaps in areas such as Interagency Collaboration and Family Engagement. Lack of sufficient data lead to an unclear picture of FAST functioning at each site, but the researcher did evaluate overall program trends. FAST proved to have some merit for meeting the needs of at-risk secondary Exceptional Children on the Future Ready Course of Study.

A comprehensive, yet practical, text for diverse courses that contribute to the transition process, Transition Planning for Secondary Students with Disabilities, Third Edition, describes the varied transition needs of students with disabilities and the myriad options and career paths potentially available. The authors' approach to transition is treated in a generalized way by cross-categorical, practical, and real transition examples. Redesigned to focus more directly on supporting teachers and professionals in developing and implementing transition activities, the revision remains comprehensive and provides broad coverage of transition content, ranging from the legislative-policy base to specific transition activities. More so than in previous editions, the third edition content reflects transition issues confronted at the high school level, problem-solving strategies, and updated content that reflects the IDEA. transition that presents themes to organize each chapter, connecting content across chapters and topics, derived from the IDEA legislation. The resulting integration of policy and practice systematically builds the reader's understanding and provides guidelines for daily transition activities. Outcomes of transition services, across various middle school, secondary, and postsecondary programs are viewed in the book from the perspective of post-school outcomes and quality of life. The combined process and outcome analysis will help the reader determine whether transition programs are doing things right, and if they are doing the right things.

This book was released on 2000 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book covers the transition of individuals with mild and moderate disabilities to all aspects of adult life.

Transition Education and Services for Adolescents with Disabilities builds upon the success of past editions, but it also presents a new and fresh look at the areas of transition education and transition services. Two separate models are proposed, one to cover transition education and the other to provide an overview of transition services. The separate but equal emphasis on each model component will help readers see their own roles more clearly. This book is intended for use by those in pre-service education programs as well as those currently in the field.
