This guide is intended to provide persons involved in the transition of handicapped youth from school to work with a systematic means of implementing transition and disseminating information about resources that may assist the process. The guide is organized in six sections. The first section provides an overview of transition, while the second section describes Missouri LINC's transition model. The third section discusses program planning and evaluation. In the fourth section, information on transition is provided in five subsections dealing with legislation, independent living, parents, rural areas, and various transition options. Each subsection includes a bibliography and appendixes of resources. Transition resources on the national and Missouri state level and in local communities are listed in the fifth section. The final section of the guide is a glossary. (KC)
