Description
The second edition of Beyond High School: Preparing Adolescents for Tomorrow's Challenges addresses a wide array of goals and the complexity of providing secondary special education services today. Among these goals are: 1) all students have a basic right to be educated and to work in the environment that least restricts their right to learn and interact with other students, 2) educational experiences must be planned, delivered, and evaluated based upon the unique abilities, social backgrounds, and learning styles of the student, 3) agencies, organizations, and individuals from a broad array of disciplines and professional fields must effectively and systematically coordinate their efforts to meet individual education and employment needs, 4) students grow and mature throughout their lives, requiring varying levels and types of educational and employment support, 5) the capability of an individual to obtain and hold meaningful and productive employment is important to the individual's quality of life, and 6) parents, advocates, and friends for a vitally important social network that is an instrumental aspect of education, transition to employment, and continuing education.
