The narrative inquiry research study proposal presented the problem: If the transition of students with disabilities into adulthood is deemed to be important to the educational system and to society, then follow-up studies of these students are essential to assessing their success. Using an interview guide adapted from the National Center on Secondary Education and Transition, special education students and their parents who graduated from a Northern Idaho high school were interviewed. Employment, services needed and received, and quality of life indicators of these students were discussed in descriptive form. Literature review revealed that legislation has mandated that transition planning for special education students be implemented. Success for students after high school graduation is questionable, and many factors determine their success. The study found that students with disabilities were presented with many challenges. The study found that there were many factors that influenced their success in transitioning into adult living. The remediation they received in the special education classroom, as well as the special education support they received in the general education setting was helpful in helping the students to compensate and remediate their areas of disabilities. Vocational classes and job shadowing helped them to explore different careers and interests, and helped develop the students' self-esteem. Individual teachers who expressed interest in them and gave the students help and support were recognized by the participants as an influential part of their transition. The Individual Education Plan and transition plan helped the student, parent(s) and school work together as a team toward the common good of the student. Community and state resources were accessed and utilized by participants once they graduated from high school.

Successful transition from school to adult life has always been difficult for people with disabilities, especially in the area of employment. The vast majority of people with disabilities are either unemployed or underemployed with low wages and few benefits, and many governments are struggling to find a way of providing employment and benefits to people with disabilities without creating disincentives to work. This book provides strategies and ideas for improving the lives of people with disabilities, exploring new ways of enabling a successful transition to an integrated adult working life by providing effective instruction and support. Following an introduction which outlines the importance of transition services and meaningful outcomes, topics covered in the remaining chapters include: Person Centered Transition Planning; Enhancing Competence and Independence; Employment Assessment and Career Development; Collaboration between Agencies for a Seamless Transition; Independent Living and Supported Living; and Community Functioning Skills. The book will be of interest to all those who work with transition age students as well as those who work with adults with disabilities and want to enable them to have the best life possible. To paraphrase Helen Keller "people with disabilities not only need to be given lives, they need to be given lives worth living."

Each chapter addresses transitional needs and their assessment, and relevant interventions from the perspectives of an application to schools, families and communities.

For Transition, Secondary Special Education and Career Education/Vocational Transition courses at the undergraduate and graduate level. A comprehensive, yet practical, text for diverse courses that contribute to the transition process, Transition Planning for Secondary Students with Disabilities, Third Edition, describes the varied transition needs of students with disabilities and the myriad options and career paths potentially available. The authors' approach to transition is treated in a generalized way by cross-categorical, practical, and real transition examples. Redesigned to focus more directly on supporting teachers and professionals in developing and implementing transition activities, the revision remains comprehensive and provides broad coverage of transition content, ranging from the legislative-policy base to specific transition activities. More so than in previous editions, the third edition content reflects transition issues confronted at the high school level, problem-solving strategies, and updated content that reflects the IDEA. transition that presents themes to organize each chapter, connecting content across chapters and topics, derived from the IDEA legislation. The resulting integration of policy and practice systematically builds the reader's understanding and provides guidelines for daily transition activities. Outcomes of transition services, across various middle school, secondary, and postsecondary programs are viewed in the book from the perspective of post-school outcomes and quality of life. The combined process and outcome analysis will help the reader determine whether transition programs are doing things right, and if they are doing the right things.
