Description
This comprehensive textbook addresses the transition from school to work and community for young adults with disabilities (mental, physical, cognitive, hearing, visual, and emotional). It identifies the responsibilities young adults take on for employment, post-secondary education, maintaining a home, involvement in the community, money management, and social relationships. It shows how teachers and others can help to plan for the transition and provide support for the young adult. This new edition includes updated material on self-determination, high stakes accountability, assistive technology, finding jobs, and application for youth with autism spectrum disorders.
