This study examined effects of two parent-training approaches to increase knowledge of transition resources by (a) giving parents a brochure describing local transition services or (b) providing the same brochure plus 60 min of small-group training. We randomly assigned parents to groups who completed pre- and posttests on knowledge of transition services. Results indicated posttest scores in the Brochure Plus Training group were higher than the Brochure Only group. The standardized mean difference effect size between groups was 1.6. Following the posttest, parents were asked to contact a transition community service provider described in the brochure, and to await a follow-up phone call from one of the researchers. Thirty-day follow-up data indicated that more Brochure Plus Training parents (64%) than Brochure Only parents (0%) contacted community service providers.
