Evidence is mounting about the importance of the transition to adulthood for youth with disabilities, and occupational therapists have a role to play in this area. The article in this issue by Tina Mankey offers evidence about the barriers and strategies for involvement in transition planning. Using a person-centered approach with each client in high school, occupational therapists can naturally start to focus more on occupations that the client needs to, wants to, or is expected to participate in when high school finishes. And through collaboration and communication with other team members in the education system, using the clients' own words to set goals and plan for the future, occupational therapists can begin to play an important role in secondary transition planning.
