摘要

This book reads as a "how to" manual for professionals working with youth with disabilities to effectively help the student transition from school to adult life. This practical guidebook is one in a series of 'The Brookes Transition to Adulthood', a series developed to identify the educational and social needs of students with disabilities during the transition from school to adult life by applying evidence-based research into practice. While the book is dedicated to parents, it is designed for the use of teachers, transition specialists, rehabilitation counselors, community service providers, administrators, policy makers, and families. The book is organized into eight chapters that incorporate vignettes and examples to help clarify each step with associated suggestions for the transition process.The book begins by explaining the importance of the transition process and the driving force of federal law in the implementation of practice.
