Life Beyond the Classroom
Transition Strategies for Young People with Disabilities
By Paul Wehman ~ 2006, 4th edition
This manual is the best we have seen on preparing students with special needs for adulthood. The authors explain the benefits and limits of federal laws and makes sense of the transition planning required under the special education law.
By consistently focusing on practical strategies that special educators, vocational counselors and parents can use, the authors explore the challenges of student involvement, finding jobs, working with community agencies, independent living, and preparing for college. Special chapters on traumatic brain injury, cognitive disabilities, sensory impairments, learning disabilities, emotional and behavior disorders and orthopedic impairments provide detailed discussions for each population of students.
Photocopiable charts and checklists can be used in the classroom and IEP meeting. Any family of an adolescent, counselor or educator working with high school students will find this book essential.
