Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) of 2004 mandated transition planning services for students with disabilities who are exiting high school and entering the world of work or postsecondary education. Despite collaborative efforts between educational institutions and various service agencies to facilitate transition from high school to employment or continued education, students with disabilities appear to lag behind their non-handicapped peers in these areas. This study focused on transition planning for students with mild disabilities enrolled in a community college in central Texas. The individual transition plans (ITPs) of fifteen students who had self-declared to the college as having a learning disability were obtained from the high school from which they graduated. The records were analyzed for evidence of twelve essential components of transition planning recommended in educational literature. The students were interviewed regarding their vi i transition plans and what they viewed as factors necessary for success in college. Four professional staff members of the Education Support Service, which serves students with disabilities on campus, were also interviewed regarding how prepared the students were for college work and what factors that promote college success should be included in adequate transition plans. The study investigated the adequacy and "fit" of transition planning as an effective means of preparing students with disabilities for the reality of postsecondary education. Knowledge gained from this study could assist public school special educators to develop appropriate ITPs and inform practice in the field of secondary special education in areas such as curriculum, collaboration with service agencies, and assessment of transition service needs.

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.

Book excerpt: A Collaborative Approach to Transition Planning for Students With Disabilities is designed to inform aspiring special education teachers, special education teams, transition planning specialists, and school administrators about the complex process of transition planning and to meet the transition requirements of special education legislation. Dr. JoAnn M. Rae has been in the field of special education for 34 years, in service as a special education teacher, special education administrator, teacher certification supervisor, and college faculty. In this text, she outlines a framework for transition planning specially designed to advance each student's involvement and participation in planning for their post-school lives, in the presence of the most severe sensory and intellectual disabilities and also in the case of each disability category under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. Unique scenarios not typically seen in other textbooks, such as Individualized Education Plan team disagreements, students with terminal illnesses, students with ill or overworked parents, or students living in poverty, are also explored. The text also includes: Descriptions of research-based practices to maximize students' self-determination, autonomy, goal setting, and ability to have successful life experiences, Opportunities to integrate knowledge with practice by providing strategies that relate to the real-life difficulties students and transition planning specialists may encounter, Easy-to-replicate communication tools, such as letters to students and parents, as examples to enhance collaboration, Methods for teachers to effectively promote and increase student involvement and collaboration by using structured and interactive interviews, A Collaborative Approach to Transition Planning for Students With Disabilities reflects the universal challenges that teachers, families and, finally, the students themselves face as they progress through school with a disability. For students with disabilities, the key component to successful transition planning is creating a collaborative atmosphere that allows them to be successful. This book promises to serve as an essential resource to all who are dedicated to that goal. Book jacket.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Students with disabilities have a variety of strengths, interests and needs. When these needs are identified and interests explored, students are more likely to experience a positive postsecondary outcome. Secondary educational programs, in order to help them accomplish this, should include six key elements into the students program and transition planning. These elements, identified in research help students reach their postsecondary goals. The intent of this study was to determine which of these elements are identified and implemented in secondary programs and transition planning and to what extent these elements adequately address the educational and employment needs of students with disabilities. A qualitative case study was utilized to analyze and evaluate one to four years’ worth of transition plans for fourteen high school special education students on the existence of these elements. In addition, parent interviews were conducted to identify the effects these elements had on their student’s post secondary experience. This study found, the six elements were implemented to varying degrees in each transition plan. Some elements were consistently identified including: assessment, student involvement and transition goals. Parent and agency involvement and training however were not identified in all plans and were found to varying degrees. Since all elements work hand in hand, it is important to include them, to the fullest extent possible in order to provide students the greatest opportunity for success. Parent interviews confirm these findings which suggest in order to help set up students for success, all elements need to be implemented into the secondary educational program. This study is limited by the small case sample but hopes to contribute to the existing literature that implementation of the key elements provide students with disabilities the best opportunity for a successful post secondary outcome.

Book excerpt: Research has shown that students with learning disabilities are not prepared to successfully transition to postsecondary education. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) recognizes the importance of postsecondary preparation and requires transition planning for eligible students. This project reflects the background of students with disabilities transitioning to higher education and utilizes the American School Counselor Association National Model to recommend improvements to the current preparatory methods for students with learning disabilities. These improvements include the varying informational needs for students, educators, and parents during the process in an effort to help students find postsecondary success and close the achievement gap between students with learning disabilities and their non-disabled peers.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Individual Education Plans (IEP) are mandated by law for all students with disabilities. One component of the IEP is the Transition Plan. According to research a disproportionate number of students with learning disabilities reveal that they have a disability once they reach the postsecondary level. Some researchers in the literature have supported the notion that learning to utilize opportunities through the use of self advocacy, technology, mentoring and better teacher training are some of the major areas for development of the maturity and growth of these students. Students with learning disabilities at the postsecondary level are the focus group for this research. The purpose of this research was to examine factors specifically demographic, personal and environmental, that facilitates or hinder transitioning of students with learning disabilities. An electronic survey developed by the researcher was administered to a total of 100 students with learning disabilities at city colleges in a large Midwestern city that consists of seven campuses. The survey was divided into four areas, Personal Public School Profile, The Development of the IEP and Its Use, The Development of the Transition Plan and Life After High School. A follow up interview was given to seven of the participants in order to acquire more in depth information about perceptions of their IEP and Transition Plans. Chi Square and Fisher Exact tests were conducted for any statistical significance. These test yielded no significance. But just a little over half felt that the goals set in high school were being met. The results support the point of view that with ongoing teacher training, mentoring and self advocacy these students can be more successful and better prepared for the future.
