Transition by Design: Improving Equity and Outcomes for Adolescents with Disabilities (Disability, Culture, and Equity Series)

Transitions to adulthood for adolescents with disabilities are as diverse as the adolescents themselves. While there have been marked improvements for students with disabilities, there is still concern that employment education and independent living outcomes are not equitable across groups of students. For example, adolescents of color are more likely to face exclusionary discipline procedures in school resulting in detention and court involvement which, in turn, can limit access to educational opportunities in inclusive settings. Recommending a shift toward strengths-based approaches to research and practice, Trainor explores how all stakeholders, including researchers and practitioners, can help shape equitable opportunities for youth with disabilities in transition. Transition by Design reframes disability, diversity, and equity during the transition from high school to adulthood.

Building Asset-Based Transitions to Postsecondary Education with Multilingual Students with Disabilities

Romano, Lindsay E.

Newman, Lynn A.

This important volume presents the results from a five-year, mixed methods study on the transition from high school to postsecondary education for young adults who, during secondary school, received both English learner and special education services.

This book presents a group of case studies to show how to assess students to develop a clear statement of Transition service needs and then use that information for goals and objectives in their IEP or ITP (individual Transition plan). The case studies format will help you see in a concrete way how assessment procedures relate to young people with whom you can identify. The individuals described in these case studies may be very much like students in your school or may be so different as to help you see the range of possibilities with assessments.
