Carolyn Hughes and Erik Carter had a quest - to turn groundbreaking transition research into high school practice. So they went looking for practical strategies, based on the latest research, that secondary school teachers could actually use with students who have disabilities, who are at risk for failure, or who need additional support making the transition from high school to adult life. In this handbook, the authors compile what they found - over 500 research-based, teacher-tested, transition support strategies that have been proven to work by leading researchers, educators, and practitioners. Full of options for tailoring approaches to individual students' needs and preferences, these strategies help develop supports in the school, at work, and in the community while they increase students' social competence. Teachers, employment specialists, families, and students themselves will love the handbook's easy-to-use, menu style format that lets them turn to the relevant strategies they need without having to read the entire book. Photocopiable checklists and observational forms are included throughout to help them immediately apply strategies. Perfect for training special educational teachers and for guiding IEP teams, this user-friendly resource enables teachers and families to become interactive partners with their students as they help them make a successful transition from high school to adult life.
