This book covers the transition of individuals with mild and moderate disabilities to all aspects of adult life. It includes not only the transition to employment, but also the transition to future living and post-secondary educational environments. Transition Education and Services for Adolescents with Disabilities builds upon the success of past editions, but it also presents a new and fresh look at the areas of transition education and transition services. Two separate models are proposed: one to cover transition education and the other to provide an overview of transition services. The separate-but-equal emphasis on each model component will help readers see their own roles more clearly. For those in pre-service education programs as well as those currently in the field.

The second section is a comprehensive listing of competencies that have been identified as important to adult functioning. The third section contains a number of informal instruments gathered from a variety of sources that assist with the generation of transition-related information. This resource can be used as a stand-alone material or as a way to provide further assessment alternatives extending information derived from the Transition Planning Inventory (TPI) on which this resource is based. The second section, Comprehensive Informal Inventory of Knowledge and Skills for Transition, is based on the 46 competency statements of the TPI and contains over 600 additional competency statements.
