Download or read book Transition to Adulthood for Students with Disabilities written by Thomas Gibbon and published by National Professional Resources, Inc.. This book was released on 2018-04-06 with total page 6 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The transition to adulthood after high school is a critical juncture for students with disabilities. Educators need to help parents and students start preparing for this transition long before high school, when a formal transition plan is legally required. Effective transition planning is a long-term, ongoing process that can greatly influence the lifelong outcomes of students with disabilities. This 6-page, quick-reference laminated guide is written to address the needs of students with moderate to severe disabilities who are more likely to move into specialized vocational training or immediately enter the workforce after high school than transition to college. It reviews the school district's legal responsibilities under IDEA and Section 504, and identifies other federal laws with implications for students and adults with disabilities. It is designed to help all stakeholders, including the student, parents, and school districts, set appropriately ambitious individual goals for life after high school and develop a plan to achieve these goals.
Download or read book Using Portfolios as a Resource to Support Transition Into Post secondary Programs for Students with Disabilities written by Heidi R. Fikse and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 59 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this project is to review current transition practices for students with disabilities, and to present a curriculum guide which meets areas lacking in current transition instruction. Research establishes that there are deficits in student preparedness for post-secondary programs. In transition training, an intense focus has been placed upon legal implications and measurable student outcomes, without emphasizing the need to teach students how to make choices and self-advocate for the future. Research further indicates that the most successful transition training programs are based upon teaching self-determination skills such as problem solving, self-assessment, goal setting, and self-advocacy. (Cobb & Alwell, 2009; Lindstrom et al. 2007; Campbell-Whatley, 2008). A transition curriculum which embraces these best practices, Building Transition Portfolios, is presented in this project. This curriculum project includes a guidebook of lesson plans designed to provide support to teachers in leading students through the process of developing self-awareness, functional goal setting skills, and employment preparedness. As students progress through the curriculum, a personal portfolio of work is created, called a Transition Portfolio. Implications for this model are examined, and developed as the end product of this project.
