Evaluation of the "Choices-in-Transition Intervention" program with 41 low-income, predominantly ethnic minority group high school students with disabilities found the program resulted in significant increases in students' help-recruiting skills. Ninety percent of students received help with their goals and 85 percent met at least one of their goals. Implications for transition services are discussed. (Contains references.) (Author/DB)
