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: Why does a public high school, despite having resources and educators with good intentions, end up graduating English learners (ELs) without preparing them for college and career? This book answers this question through a longitudinal ethnographic case study of a diverse high school in Pennsylvania. The author takes the reader on a journey with seven EL students through their last two years of high school, exploring how and why none of them reached the postsecondary destinations they originally aspired to. This book provides a sobering look into the systemic undereducation of high school ELs and the role of high schools in limiting their postsecondary options.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This qualitative study focuses on the experiences of students with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) transitioning from high school to postsecondary education as told from the perspective of their parents. As a group, parents of college-aged youth and young adults with ASD are more deeply involved with the educational process of their children's education compared to other parents. Structured interviews were conducted with parents of a purposively selected sample of students with ASD attending Downtown University, a four-year urban comprehensive university in the southeast. Parents were asked to describe their experiences with the transition process and, if possible, highlight any information that was not provided to them that would have allowed them to make the transition period a smoother one for their children. Data collected through these interviews were used to delineate the most common experiences shared by these parents as their children with ASD moved from the K-12 setting to the postsecondary setting. Four particular themes emerged as shared experiences that came to the forefront: being an advocate for the child begins at an early age and continues well into the college years; maintaining a strong line of communication with the child as he or she transitions to college is critical; developing a strong support team along the way provides professional advice and serves as an outlet for expressing closely-held emotions and beliefs; and once the transition period is complete, returning to a relatively "normal" life is critical for the health and well-being of the parent. Knowing the importance of these experiences shared by the parents will allow high schools and college disability services offices to make recommendations for training, assistance, and information to parents so the transition process takes place in a much smoother manner.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Former First Lady, Michelle Obama believes that every individual should have some type of postsecondary education or training beyond high school to achieve economic and personal success (Reach Higher Initiative, Better Make Room, 2019). Educational attainment (e.g., a high school diploma, college degree, or postsecondary training) provides career opportunities for advancement into leadership positions and benefits such as health insurance and retirement (Heckman, 2000). Additionally, an individual with a college degree can make over one million dollars more over a lifetime in salary than someone with a high school diploma (Carnevale, Cheah, & Hanson, 2015). Acquiring a college degree can lead to employment opportunities and is considered an asset in the U.S. economy (Washington, 2010). However, certain populations encounter barriers to attaining an education, particularly a postsecondary education, leading to a disparity in receiving the aforementioned benefits. Some of these populations include African American students, LGBTQ students, and students with disabilities. There is a dearth of information and research on providing guidance on implementation, research, and best practices in equity-based career development, college readiness, and successful postsecondary transitions for minoritized, at risk, or vulnerable populations. The editors of this volume invited authors with research and practice expertise around various student populations in preparing them for college and career readiness as well as postsecondary transitions. This book is the first of its kind to discuss career development and postsecondary transitions from an access and equity perspective. Further, this text serves as a call to action to ensure the United States’ most vulnerable populations has an opportunity to successfully transition into multiple postsecondary options after high school.

Book excerpt: "With the passing of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and its 1997 amendments, special education services now include post high school planning. Students with disabilities have transitional goals included in their Individualized Educational Plan (IEP). Students who are labeled learning disabled, and are transitioning from high school into a post secondary educational system are able to succeed when they have a well designed transition plan, self-determination and self-advocacy skills. This paper offers parents, teachers, counselors, and representatives of social services an outline of what should be integrated into the transitional section of the IEP. Furthermore, it documents what skills are needed by the student to be successful in a postsecondary setting and why students with learning disabilities should consider postsecondary education."--Leaf 4.
