Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The transition from high school to post-secondary life is especially difficult for students with high-incidence disabilities. The purpose of the present study was to examine the educational experiences of students with high-incidence disabilities, such as ASD, specific learning disability, and ADHD, who received post-secondary transitional services. Participants included (n = 25) seniors in high school with current IEPs, who completed questionnaires regarding their experience with post-secondary transitional services and were interviewed after graduation to share their perceptions of the process and services they received to prepare them for post-secondary life. Results suggest that participants perceive themselves as prepared for their post-secondary goals both before graduation and during the fall after graduation; however, they do not attribute their readiness to the services received in school. Implications for practice and future research are discussed.

Download or read book Preparing Students with Disabilities for the Transition from Special Education Services to Adulthood written by Alisa Dean and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This project examined the transition from high school to adulthood for students eligible for special education services who have low incidence disabilities (i.e., intellectual and developmental disabilities). The research answered the question, “What are evidence-based best practices and community resources for assisting in the transition of individuals with low incidence disabilities from high school and special education services to adulthood?” To answer this question, the researcher reviewed literature of evidence-based practices that increased success rates of students in special education after they transitioned into adulthood. A review of literature revealed that interagency collaboration, functional skill curriculum and assessment, vocational skill training, and self-determination awareness and training delivered to student between the ages of 16 and 22 positively influenced transition from special education services into adulthood. The product of this project is a 16-chapter transition manual of evidence-based best practices in transition planning and community resources available to facilitate transition. The manual is designed for use by transition planning teams supporting students with low incidence disabilities, students themselves and their families, and adult service providers. The community resources included in the manual are those accessible to North County San Diego residents. The evidence-based best practices for transition presented in the manual are appropriate for any student eligible for special education diagnosed with a low incidence disability and who is preparing for the transition from high school to adulthood.

Download or read book Transition Practices for Students with High incidence Disabilities in a Rural School written by Kristina M. Martin and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Individuals with disabilities often have difficulty obtaining and maintaining employment after graduation from high school. Employment outcomes for individuals with disabilities are significantly less than their typical peers. One potential cause of lower employment outcomes for people with disabilities is the result of public schools’ failure to implement appropriate individualized transition plans and services. The purpose of this qualitative case study was to investigate the effectiveness of evidence-based transition practices as perceived by school educators, parents of students with high-incidence disabilities who receive special education services, and outside agency providers in a rural school in the North Central Texas area. The data collected targeted 5 evidence-based transition practices: person-centered planning, self- determination skills, interagency collaboration, parental involvement, and community/work- based learning programs. This single-case qualitative study had multiple units of analysis from 2 targeted participant groups: educational staff and parents of students with high-incidence disabilities serviced through special education services in grades 7–12. The researcher interviewed each group of participants face-to-face or by phone conference using a semi- structured responsive interview model. School staff and parent participants identified areas of improvement in relation to the district’s evidence-based transition practices and procedures for the 2018-2019 school year. The areas of focus should be the following: parent and outside agency involvement initiatives; training for identified needs for students, staff, and parents; and exploring options to provide opportunities for career exploration.

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.

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 written by Yvonne Moreno and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All individuals regardless of their exceptionalities must have a right to live full independent lives, and to be contributing members of society. However, according to the literature individuals with disabilities continue to experience poor post-school outcomes as compared to their non-disabled peers. The purpose of this study was to examine the perceptions of special education case-managers about the impact that transition barriers have on the post-school outcomes of students with disabilities, and to determine whether best practices were being used as part of students' transition planning. In addition, special education case-managers disability lenses were assessed to explore whether case-managers' disability model--based on the medical, social, and social-relational model of disability--influenced the implementation of transition best practices. Special education case-managers' responses to demographic questions were also assessed to determine whether differences exist between special education case-managers demographics and their disability model. The population for this study consisted of special education case-managers, working at one of five public high schools in a southwest region of the United states, whose caseloads consisted of students diagnosed with one or more of the 13-disability categories under IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act). Two surveys, the High Incidence Disabilities Transition Survey (HIDTS) and Low Incidence Disabilities Transition Survey (LIDTS), were developed to answer research questions. Descriptive statistics, one-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), and Chi-square tests were used to answer the research questions. According to the results, transitions barriers are present in schools and have an impact on the post-school outcomes of students with disabilities. In addition, participants indicated that best practices are being used at a minimal rate or are not available in schools for students with disabilities. Findings also suggest that for some disability categories and best practices, there are statistically significant differences among the "total use" of best practices by the three different disability models. Findings also revealed that there is an association between special education case-managers disability lenses and level of education.

Download or read book Transition by Design written by Audrey A. Trainor and published by Teachers College Press. This book was released on 2017 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transitions to adulthood for adolescents with disabilities are as diverse as the adolescents themselves. While there have been marked improvements for students with disabilities, there is still concern that employment education and independent living outcomes are not equitable across groups of students. For example, adolescents of color are more likely to face exclusionary discipline procedures in school resulting in detention and court involvement which, in turn, can limit access to educational opportunities in inclusive settings. Recommending a shift toward strengths-based approaches to research and practice, Trainor explores how all stakeholders, including researchers and practitioners, can help shape equitable opportunities for youth with disabilities in transition. Transition by Design reframes disability, diversity, and equity during the transition from high school to adulthood. “Audrey Trainor offers an excellent treatise on transition research and practice as cultural acts that lead to differential outcomes for youth with disabilities, particularly for those from historically marginalized groups. Each of us must heed her call to examine how our personal and professional cultures influence our work and contribute to equity, or inequity, in programs and services for these populations.” —Alba A. Ortiz, professor emerita, The University of Texas at Austin “With passion and precision, Trainor calls us to see the work of transition education through new and broader lenses. Her remarkable book pushes the field to pursue equity and ensure every young person with a disability can flourish.” —Erik Carter, professor, Vanderbilt University
