Young Adults with Mental Disabilities--Does Transition Planning Make a Difference?.
Frank, Alan R.; Sitlington, Patricia L.
Education and Training in Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities, v35 n2 p119-34 Jun 2000
The effectiveness of transition planning for individuals with mental retardation was investigated by comparing outcomes of 322 adults who graduated from high school in 1985 with 82 who graduated in 1993. The class of 1993 demonstrated better outcomes in several areas of adult adjustment. Recommendations for improvements are discussed. (Contains references.) (Author/CR)
