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.

Download or read book Transition Services for Postsecondary Students with Disabilities written by Kimberly Clark and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transition services for disabled students begin in high school and have been shown to impact their ability to matriculate to college or obtain employment. A review of the literature illustrates that there is a statistical gap between those postsecondary young adults with and without disabilities who enter college or the world of work. It is unclear how collaboration between Local Education Agencies (LEAs), community colleges, and the California Department of Rehabilitation impacts transitions for students with disabilities in moving forward to college or the world of work. Program Theory is used as a tool in this proposed study to understand how transition service programs are implemented in California Local Education Agencies (LEAs) for both disabled high school students and those that have graduated. In addition, the Logic Model Theory of Change provides an opportunity to examine why collaboration has been a difficult challenge between Local Education Agencies, community colleges, and state agencies in providing transition services for disabled young adults. This proposed study is intended to be a cross-sectional analysis of transition service collaboration for disabled high school students and postsecondary young adults. Survey data will be collected from Local Education Agency case managers, community college disabled services representatives, and Department of Rehabilitation representatives in Los Angeles County to identify the obstacles that inhibit collaboration between the transition service team members, the key ingredients that lead to successful transition services for students with disabilities, and how this postgraduate transition service team can better communicate with each other about services provided.
