Reflections of a VR Counselor: There's a Job for Everyone!
Sheikh, Sitara
Odyssey: New Directions in Deaf Education, v20 p54-57 2019
The transition from school to work is wonderful and exciting, but the process can also be scary. Each of us goes through it--turning 18, opening a bank account, applying for a first job, and the myriad of activities entailed in legally becoming an adult. While some students, in accordance with the law, remain in school until they are 21, at whatever age school-to-work transition is experienced, young adults must acquire new information, get access to resources, and adjust to new environments.
