Good book for transition strategies

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago

This is an excellent book for those desiring to help students transition from school to adulthood: the workforce,post secondary or community living. The tables and charts alone are worth the paper its printed on. This text is standard issue for special educators. However case workers and involved parents can wade through the research for the nuggets of information. Written in 2006, this book however relies on employment information that precedes our current recession. It's amusing (and yet sad) to read the projections of a labor shortage when 10% of our work force is unemployed. The effects on students with disabilities is even more alarming. This good textbook will need a revision. I wish there was a short companion workbook listing the resources found within the pages.

Transition to Adult Life

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago

I have been a work study coordinator in Ohio for 19 years. This book outlined fresh new ideas for transition plans and gave specific guidelines for certain disabilities. I have retired and am now working again with transition in public high schools. This is similar to a college textbook. It is thorough and gives sample transition plans to examine. It does cover autism in one chapter. I highly recommend this book for special education teachers and transition specialists. Elaine Krieg Amherst, Ohio

Great information

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago

This book is a great resource for teachers who deal with high school transition of those with special needs. It provides scenarios and lots of reference information. Even though it is very lengthy and sometimes difficult to follow (side boxes of information on page), it is useful.
