This book was released on 2006 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This brief summarizes our findings from a review of potential data sources to examine school-to-work transitions by youth with disabilities (Wittenburg and Stapleton, 2000). Our objective was to identify data sources for future school-to-work analyses that contain longitudinal information on youth with disabilities. We conclude that the following data sources are most promising based on our selection criteria: Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP); National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health); Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA) 911 Database and RSA's Longitudinal Study of Vocational Rehabilitation (VR); state administrative data (multiple states); National Educational Longitudinal Study of 1988 (NELS:88); National Longitudinal Transition Study of Special Education Students (NLTS); National Longitudinal Transition Study of Special Education Students-2 (NLTS-2); and National Longitudinal Survey of Youth: 1997 (NLSY:97).

Download or read book Transition Planning for Students with Disabilities written by Jeffrey P. Bakken and published by Charles C Thomas Publisher. This book was released on 2008 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The need for transition services for students with exceptionalities is apparent and critical for their success after high school. It is essential for school professionals, parents, and students to work collaboratively and consultively to determine each student's future goals and develop an effective plan to meet those goals successively. This book, therefore, focuses on all aspects of that transition planning from school to postschool levels. The text provides the reader with a foundation of transition services and a historical overview of models and practices and offers a critical look at transition with students from culturally and ethnically diverse backgrounds. In addition, it presents an in-depth look at assistive technology to assist students in fully participating in the planning for their future and also describes the process for planning and the importance of family collaboration. It offers an extensive discussion of career development and the importance of work experiences and also reviews key social skills and leisure options. Finally, the text looks at independent living options and reviews available successful postsecondary education programs. The format of the book is unique and the text is written in a style that all readers can comprehend and understand; the information can be easily applied to classroom and transition programs. This book will be an excellent resource for researchers, scholars, educators, and service providers and will serve as either a required or supplementary text for undergraduate and graduate transition courses in special education.

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 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

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The future of disability in America will depend on how well the U.S. prepares for and manages the demographic, fiscal, and technological developments that will unfold during the next two to three decades. Building upon two prior studies from the Institute of Medicine (the 1991 Institute of Medicine's report Disability in America and the 1997 report Enabling America), The Future of Disability in America examines both progress and concerns about continuing barriers that limit the independence, productivity, and participation in community life of people with disabilities. This book offers a comprehensive look at a wide range of issues, including the prevalence of disability across the lifespan; disability trends the role of assistive technology; barriers posed by health care and other facilities with inaccessible buildings, equipment, and information formats; the needs of young people moving from pediatric to adult health care and of adults experiencing premature aging and secondary health problems; selected issues in health care financing (e.g., risk adjusting payments to health plans, coverage of assistive technology); and the organizing and financing of disability-related research. The Future of Disability in America is an assessment of both principles and scientific evidence for disability policies and services. This book's recommendations propose steps to eliminate barriers and strengthen the evidence base for future public and private actions to reduce the impact of disability on individuals, families, and society.
