Transition to Adult Life for Persons with Disabilities Keith Storey, Paul Bates, and Dawn Hunter, Eds. Transition from school to adult life has been particularly difficult for youth with disabilities. The vast majority are either unemployed or underemployed with low wages and no benefits. This new resource provides strategies and ideas for improving the lives of people with disabilities, from assessment and instructional strategies, to career development, supported living and postsecondary education. It features 21 experts in 11 chapters that include transition planning, assessment, instructional strategies, career development, adult employment, community functioning skills, social life, quality of life, supported living, and post-secondary education. Each chapter begins with a group of key questions that are addressed in the text. The Road Ahead provides strategies for helping students have a meaningful life after school and improving the lives of people with disabilities. "...a powerful, well written resource
for all involved in transition from school to work or other
environments." |
Each chapter lists a set of KEY QUESTIONS related to the topic, which are then thoroughly answered. In WINDOWS TO THE WORLD, the authors provide real-life case examples to illustrate their points. Each chapter also includes a list of BEST PRACTICES, a discussion of FUTURE RESEARCH ISSUES, and end with a set of DISCUSSION QUESTIONS and recommended COMMUNITY-BASED ACTIVITIES. |
This unique resource is written in practical terms and with learning in mind. CONTENTS
