Where Have They Gone? Issues in Transition and Progression for Special School Leavers.

Dyson, Alan; Meagher, Nick; Robson, Elaine

Journal of Research in Special Educational Needs, v2 n2 p1-12 Jun 2002

Interviews with 76 former special school students (ages 16-25) found many were experiencing fractured transitions from school but were more positive about their schools than peers who attended mainstream provision. Students displayed a high level of purposefulness but lacked personal and social resources to support their progression. (Contains references.) (Author/CR)
