Zhang, Dalun; Ivester, Joy; Katsiyannis, Antonis
Education and Training in Developmental Disabilities, v40 n4 p360-367 Dec 2005
This study examined high school and middle school transition practices from the perspective of special education teacher leaders. Results indicated that the majority of schools offer functional curricula, social skills training, and an array of school-based functional learning opportunities. However, a significant number of schools did not provide adequate employment skills development and functional assessment. In addition, agency involvement in transition planning was inadequate.
