Prince, Angela M. T.; Katsiyannis, Antonis; Farmer, Jennie
Intervention in School and Clinic, v48 n5 p286-293 May 2013
Postsecondary transition planning for students with disabilities first entered the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) in 1990. The required provisions for transition planning were updated with the amendments to IDEA in 1997 and its reauthorization in 2004. Since IDEA 2004 took effect in July 2005, 11 court cases have been decided related to postsecondary transition planning. This article summarizes recent litigation in transition and discusses practice implications. (Contains 3 tables.)
