Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) of the U.S. Department of Education is working to provide the information needed to improve the transition and postschool outcomes of secondary school students with disabilities, in part through the National Longitudinal Transition Study-2 (NLTS2). The findings of this 10-year study generalize to youth with disabilities nationally and to youth in each of the 12 federal special education disability categories in use for students in the NLTS2 age range. This report examines efforts to prepare youth with disabilities for the transition from secondary school to adulthood. It highlights the transition planning process undertaken during high school with and for youth with disabilities as they prepare for life after school. These topics are addressed by using data from two important sources: (1) Parents or guardians of NLTS2 study members; and (2) School staff best able to describe students' overall programs. From these data, NLTS2 provides a national picture of transition planning, including variations in that planning for students who differ in disability and other characteristics. The following are appended: (1) NLTS2 Sampling, Data Collection, and Analysis Procedures; (2) Demographic Characteristics of Youth with Disabilities and Their Households; and (3) Unweighted Sample Sizes. (Contains 33 exhibits and 15 footnotes.).

Download or read book Navigating the Transition from High School to College for Students with Disabilities written by Meg Grigal and published by Routledge. 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.

Download or read book Effect of Transition Planning on Postsecondary Support Receipt by Students with Disabilities written by Lynn A. Newman and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Data from the National Longitudinal Transition Study-2 were analyzed to determine the effect of receiving transition planning education and having a transition plan that specified needed postsecondary accommodations on the receipt of disability-specific services and generally available supports at the postsecondary level by students with disabilities. The analyses included a nationally representative cohort of 1,210 students. Propensity model analyses indicated that both variables significantly increased the odds that students with disabilities would receive disability-specific and generally available supports at 2-year institutions. In addition, students with transition plans specifying accommodations were more likely to receive disability-related supports at career/technical education (CTE) schools and CTE students who had received transition planning education in high school were more likely to receive generally available supports. The results provide important implications for policy and practice, and a strong foundation for further exploration of the linkages between transition planning experiences and receipt of disability-specific and generally available supports at postsecondary schools. Given the significant change in responsibility faced by students with disabilities in college in regard to decision making and self-advocacy, transition planning for students with disabilities needs to include explicit instruction related to accessing needed services at the college level.

Book excerpt: Large numbers of young people in the United States were in foster care or in juvenile justice custody as teenagers, and many of them have a difficult time making a successful transition to independent adulthood as they leave these systems. Most of them faced a number of disadvantages during childhood and often have poor outcomes across several domains relative to their peers as they become adults. While government funding to help these groups has increased, few of the programs that have been rigorously evaluated have been found to improve outcomes. To advance knowledge in this area, the Youth Villages program sought an independent evaluation of its Transitional Living program--now known as "YVLifeSet"--which is one example of an "independent living" program. The Transitional Living program aims to help young men and women make the transition to adulthood by providing intensive, individualized, and clinically focused case management, support, and counseling. The evaluation used a rigorous random assignment design in which study sample members were assigned at random to either a program group that was offered the Transitional Living program services or to a control group that was not offered those services. This third major report in the evaluation builds on the one-year findings and assesses the estimated two-year impacts of the Transitional Living program using administrative data for three outcome domains: education, employment and earnings, and criminal involvement. The report also presents information on the costs of operating the Transitional Living program. Key findings overall and from the two-year analysis include: (1) Transitional Living did not increase young people's average earnings during the second year of follow-up, but it had a modest, positive effect at some earnings levels during this time period and it led to modest increases in employment and earnings over the full two-year study period; (2) Statistically significant effects were not observed in Year 1 in the education, social support, and criminal involvement domains, and did not emerge in Year 2 (though social support was measured in Year 1 only); and (3) The program increased housing stability and economic well-being and improved some of the primary outcomes related to health and safety in Year 1, but data were not available to assess whether impacts in these domains continued into Year 2. The following is appended: Impacts by Subgroups of Young People. Contains a list of earlier MDRC Publications on the Youth Villages Transitional Living Evaluation. [For the first report, see "Moving into Adulthood: Implementation Findings from the Youth Villages Transitional Living Evaluation" (ED545451); for the second report, see "Becoming Adults: One-Year Impact Findings from the Youth Villages Transitional Living Evaluation" (ED558489); and for the policy brief, see "After Foster Care and Juvenile Justice: A Preview of the Youth Villages Transitional Living Evaluation.
