Dare to Dream: A Guide to Planning Your Future, A Student's Guide To Transition Planning [and] Teacher's Guide.
Perkins, Dollean; And Others
This guide for high school-age students with mild disabilities encourages students to be involved in planning their future. Students complete exercises that promote their involvement in transition planning and help them start thinking about decisions for the future. Consideration is given to: the student's dreams for the future, supports for the student, the individualized transition plan and who might be involved, where the student might live in the future, skills and education needed for employment, free time, helping others in the community, transportation within the community, desired postschool outcomes, learning styles, requirements for graduation, and making one's dreams come true. Brief information is provided about the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. Types of housing options are identified, including geographic choices, types of housing, and alternative living arrangements. Questions are provided to help the student clarify what type of work would be appealing, and the level/type of training required for various job categories is specified. Skills for independent living, work, leisure, and community participation are also identified. The teacher's guide provides exercises to help high school age students with mild disabilities plan for the future. Teachers are encouraged to incorporate their own activities to suit students' needs and abilities. (SW)
