This book was released on 2015 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The transition from high school is challenging for any student, but for young adults with disabilities, it can be even more difficult. In addition to adjusting to increased academic demands in an environment where there is less structure and support, students have to navigate a disability services system that is very different from the one they knew in high school. But with the proper preparation, students can enjoy success! This practical guide explains how the system for accommodations works, describes students' rights and responsibilities within that system, and employs the voices of seasoned professionals and college students to explain the skills and strategies students should develop while they are in high school to ensure success when they reach college. As a bonus, it also offers answers to questions students with disabilities frequently ask about disclosing their disability in the admissions process.

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.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With increasing frequency, students with learning differences are transitioning out of high school ill-prepared for the rigor and freedom of a postsecondary setting. The transition from high school to college is marked by the transfer of responsibility for accessing and monitoring services and performance. The familiar model of special education services at the high school level changes significantly at the postsecondary level, shifting responsibility from the K-12 school system to the individual student. Research is limited in specific transition processes that manifest into successful transitioning of students with learning differences from secondary to postsecondary educational institutions. This study sought to investigate the quality of a series of non-cognitive transition modules developed to prepare students with learning differences for the postsecondary education setting. For purposes of this research, the terminology learning differences was used, except when referring to learning disabilities as it relates to federal law. Though transition planning for students with learning differences has long been discussed and supported by federal mandate, there are shortcomings in the literature as to static or longitudinal studies supporting or refuting practices that support transitioning of students with high incidence disabilities from secondary to postsecondary settings. This study served to provide a systematic, non-cognitive curricular approach to preparation for students with learning differences. The purpose of this study was to determine teacher and high school student perceived effectiveness of a series of non-cognitive transition curriculum modules developed to prepare high school students with learning differences for a postsecondary educational setting. Using a mixed-methods explanatory research design, the researcher collected quantitative data that would be expanded upon by further collection of qualitative data. Using the qualitative data to explain and extend the paradigm created by the presentation of the quantitative data, the research effectively answered the proposed study questions and provided insight into the preparedness of secondary students with learning differences for transitioning to a postsecondary education. Further implementation in secondary settings, with continuous feedback from teachers and students for appropriateness and effectiveness, will provide a sustainable transition curriculum designed to help students with learning differences experience a positive transition to postsecondary education.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Former First Lady, Michelle Obama believes that every individual should have some type of postsecondary education or training beyond high school to achieve economic and personal success (Reach Higher Initiative, Better Make Room, 2019). Educational attainment (e.g., a high school diploma, college degree, or postsecondary training) provides career opportunities for advancement into leadership positions and benefits such as health insurance and retirement (Heckman, 2000). Additionally, an individual with a college degree can make over one million dollars more over a lifetime in salary than someone with a high school diploma (Carnevale, Cheah, & Hanson, 2015). Acquiring a college degree can lead to employment opportunities and is considered an asset in the U.S. economy (Washington, 2010). However, certain populations encounter barriers to attaining an education, particularly a postsecondary education, leading to a disparity in receiving the aforementioned benefits. Some of these populations include African American students, LGBTQ students, and students with disabilities. There is a dearth of information and research on providing guidance on implementation, research, and best practices in equity-based career development, college readiness, and successful postsecondary transitions for minoritized, at risk, or vulnerable populations. The editors of this volume invited authors with research and practice expertise around various student populations in preparing them for college and career readiness as well as postsecondary transitions. This book is the first of its kind to discuss career development and postsecondary transitions from an access and equity perspective. Further, this text serves as a call to action to ensure the United States’ most vulnerable populations has an opportunity to successfully transition into multiple postsecondary options after high school.
