Transition Strategies That Work: Profiles of Successful High School Transition Programs.
Johnson, David R.; And Others
Twenty-three transition programs for high school students with disabilities in Minnesota are profiled. These programs were selected because they applied a set of 10 quality standards developed to improve the transition process and adult outcomes for students, as well as to increase the cost effectiveness and efficiency of transition services and planning. Each profile includes information on: (1) participant disabilities, (2) transition planning areas addressed, (3) ages served, (4) size/location of community, and (5) quality standards emphasized. Transition planning areas include employment, home living, community participation, recreation/leisure, and postsecondary education. Descriptive information for each program includes an overview, a discussion of the need for the program, how the program meets the need, results and effectiveness data, and other comments. Program address, telephone number, and name of a contact person name are also provided. An introductory chapter presents vignettes of four young adults with disabilities who are succeeding with the help of transition programs. An appendix provides an annotated bibliography listing 28 transition resources by Minnesota authors. (DB)
