Transition Planning: How Well Does It Work for Young People with Learning Disabilities and Their Families?
Ward, Linda; Mallett, Robina; Heslop, Pauline; Simons, Ken
British Journal of Special Education, v30 n3 p132-37 Sep 2003
A study involving 27 young people with learning disabilities and 27 parents found many left school without any transition planning. Where transition planning had occurred, there was a stark mismatch between topics families wanted covered and those addressed. Many students who received transition planning had little if any involvement. (Contains 9 references.) (Author/CR)
