Council for Exceptional Children, Reston, VA. Div. of Career Development and Transition.
This document brings together descriptions of education-to-work transition services for individuals with disabilities, as presented at a 1994 conference. The document begins with a discussion of the National Transition Network, focusing on its historical background and state-level technical assistance. "Transition from School to Adult Life for Students with Disabilities: A Guide for Educators in Nebraska Public Schools" (Barbara Schliesser and others) clarifies work guidelines, presents transition services indicators, and reviews the specification of transition services in Individualized Education Programs. Sharon deFur then describes Virginia's UNITE (Unified Intercommunity & Transition Empowerment) for Youth with Disabilities in a paper titled "A Planning Aid To Integrate Transition into IEPs Using Strategic Questioning." Minnesota's Transition Systems Improvement Initiative is then described in a compilation of materials presented by Stephanie Corby and Sandra Thompson, which include forms for a transition planning folder, a reprint of an article titled "Promoting Post-Secondary Education for High School-Aged Youth with Disabilities: A Model of Empowerment," by Robert J. Miller and others, and a list of resources for transition planning. Susan McAlonan outlines the Colorado Systems Change Transition Project, describing transition planning, parent involvement, curriculum, school/community coordination, and transition outcome indicators.
