One of the desired outcomes of transition planning for students with disabilities is to enable the students to lead a quality adult life. This report contains a literature review which outlines recent approaches to addressing quality of life issues, including conceptualizations, methodologies, and ethical concerns. A field inquiry report summarizes the results of interviews conducted among individuals with disabilities. These interviews were conducted with 45 persons, ranging in age from 20 to 50. Eight domains were explored during the interviews, including: environment, employment/occupation, education/training, health, community utilization, personal management, leisure/recreation, and interpersonal relations. Three domains were mentioned repeatedly as areas needing improvement or contributing to negative experiences/feelings. These three domains were: interpersonal relations, environment, and community utilization. Based on information from the literature review and interviews, a definition of quality adult life is presented as a working model. A copy of the form used to guide the interviews concludes the document. (JDD)
