Post School Transition

Intellectual transitions include changes such as starting primary school, moving classes, key stages or up to secondary school. Also leaving school and moving on to further education or employment. These can all be very stressful changes for some pupils, others however, may be more than ready for the next big step in their educational lives. Obviously, these transitions are all planned, and known about in advance so parents and teachers are able to discuss any issue, and provide support to nervous children. Our primary school has policies and procedures to make each stage less nerve - wracking for children. In our last half term of the school year each child will be told which class room they are going to be in, with

For my transition interview I interviewed Susan Nixon, who is the coordinator of learning and programming at Old Dominion University. Her job entails helping students with disabilities transition from high school to college. When students with disabilities are in high school they have an IEP or 504 to help them. However, when they come to college they no longer have an IEP, they become protected under the Americans with Disabilities Act. During my interview with Ms. Nixon, she pointed out how there’s no transition plan for post-college and into the work force. So, she feels it’s extremely helpful for students with disabilities to become self-advocates while in college.

Due to Skye's disability of reading, written expression, and mathematics she is in need of special education supports within the regular classroom. As a result, in order for Skye to make meaningful progress within general education, the general education curriculum will need to be presented with adaptations and modifications as outlined in the Specially Designed Instruction section of the IEP. Her rate of progress may be slower than that of non-disabled peers. Skye will receive itinerant learning support services in a general education class. The modifications listed in this IEP will be addressed in all

Successful school-to-work (STW) transition for high school students is a primary focus of Career and Educational programs in secondary education. Contemporary conversations and legislative policy have produced a national consciousness with respect to the need for successful transition from STW for secondary students, commonly referred to as “college and career readiness.” While recent years have seen an influx of European and Asian research (England, The Netherlands, Germany, Finland and Taiwan) related to successful transition programs, national research has been scattered in its focus on barriers to successful transition as a systematic problem. Transition programs have been evaluated sparsely, and focus groups of minority, disabled and

The website, http://www.ncset.org/, focused on four major areas of national significance for youth with disabilities and their families, which include: providing students with disabilities with improved access and success in the secondary education curriculum, ensuring that students achieve positive post school results in accessing postsecondary education, meaningful employment, independent living and participation in all aspects of community life, supporting student and family participation in educational and post school decision making and planning, and improving collaboration and system linkages at all levels through the development of broad-based partnerships and networks at the national, state, and local levels. Given this information a secondary special education teacher can look on this website for resources on secondary education, transition service employment, service agencies, and other areas.

The agency where I am interning is Partnership with Children. “Partnership” as it is called, works to strengthen the emotional, social and academic skills of at-risk children to prepare them for success--academically, socially, and in life. “Partnership’s” programs aim to bridge the gap between those who have a vested interest in working within New York City’s highest-need public schools, and those in need. “Partnership’s” goal is to transform the overall culture of many of the city’s struggling schools by helping students cope with the extreme stress of living in poverty. Helping students thrive in safe and supportive schools that encourage

Another topic discussed was how to better serve minority students who have disabilities or mental health diagnoses. Sadly, there is a negative stigma associated with having a disability or mental health diagnosis, and many parents do not want their children labeled. As counselors, we should form relationships and build trust with the families. Once we form these relationships, we can introduce the idea of an Individual Education Plan. At first, parents may be hesitant, but we cannot pressure them. It is important to be knowledgeable about the process, explaining it to the parents, and discussing the advantages.

According to Pyle and Wexler (2012), students with disabilities are disproportionally represented in high school graduation rates. Millions of students with individual education plans (IEPs) lack a high school diploma which then in turn affects their ability to secure

1. Secondary transition is assisting students with learning disability to successfully transition to post-secondary activities. The activities can range from employment or a type of schooling the students wishes to attend. Before students begin to transition out of high school, the school ensures the students are given the adequate academic components needed to achieve their transition. The transition is centered and planned around what the students wants for their future after high school. Students are given the opportunity to describe what they want to do once they leave high school, and the transition plan assist the student to successfully achieve their goals.

This study intends to explore on the services offered to students with disabilities, and the outcomes of these services to their education and career goals. It will examine if the obstacles faced by special needs children have to do with how effective the policies are in addressing the needs of such children. This study is important to children with disabilities because it can help them discover the education opportunities available for them, the institutions they can rely on for economic support, and the treatment they should expect from the society.
