Education and Training in Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities, v36 n1 p16-29 Mar 2001

A study of eight students with moderate to severe disabilities investigated the nature of their involvement in transition planning during their final year of high school. Teachers and parents made little investment in preparing students for their transition planning meetings, and none were active participants with designated roles. (Contains references.) (Author/CR)
