The transition from high school to post-secondary life is especially difficult for students with high-incidence disabilities. The purpose of the present study was to examine the educational experiences of students with high-incidence disabilities, such as ASD, specific learning disability, and ADHD, who received post-secondary transitional services. Participants included (n = 25) seniors in high school with current IEPs, who completed questionnaires regarding their experience with post-secondary transitional services and were interviewed after graduation to share their perceptions of the process and services they received to prepare them for post-secondary life. Results suggest that participants perceive themselves as prepared for their post-secondary goals both before graduation and during the fall after graduation; however, they do not attribute their readiness to the services received in school. Implications for practice and future research are discussed.

This project examined the transition from high school to adulthood for students eligible for special education services who have low incidence disabilities (i.e., intellectual and developmental disabilities). The research answered the question, “What are evidence-based best practices and community resources for assisting in the transition of individuals with low incidence disabilities from high school and special education services to adulthood?” To answer this question, the researcher reviewed literature of evidence-based practices that increased success rates of students in special education after they transitioned into adulthood. A review of literature revealed that interagency collaboration, functional skill curriculum and assessment, vocational skill training, and self-determination awareness and training delivered to student between the ages of 16 and 22 positively influenced transition from special education services into adulthood. The product of this project is a 16-chapter transition manual of evidence-based best practices in transition planning and community resources available to facilitate transition. The manual is designed for use by transition planning teams supporting students with low incidence disabilities, students themselves and their families, and adult service providers. The community resources included in the manual are those accessible to North County San Diego residents. The evidence-based best practices for transition presented in the manual are appropriate for any student eligible for special education diagnosed with a low incidence disability and who is preparing for the transition from high school to adulthood.

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.

Individuals with disabilities often have difficulty obtaining and maintaining employment after graduation from high school. Employment outcomes for individuals with disabilities are significantly less than their typical peers. One potential cause of lower employment outcomes for people with disabilities is the result of public schools’ failure to implement appropriate individualized transition plans and services. The purpose of this qualitative case study was to investigate the effectiveness of evidence-based transition practices as perceived by school educators, parents of students with high-incidence disabilities who receive special education services, and outside agency providers in a rural school in the North Central Texas area. The data collected targeted 5 evidence-based transition practices: person-centered planning, self- determination skills, interagency collaboration, parental involvement, and community/work- based learning programs. This single-case qualitative study had multiple units of analysis from 2 targeted participant groups: educational staff and parents of students with high-incidence disabilities serviced through special education services in grades 7–12. The researcher interviewed each group of participants face-to-face or by phone conference using a semi- structured responsive interview model. School staff and parent participants identified areas of improvement in relation to the district’s evidence-based transition practices and procedures for the 2018-2019 school year. The areas of focus should be the following: parent and outside agency involvement initiatives; training for identified needs for students, staff, and parents; and exploring options to provide opportunities for career exploration.

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.

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.
