They need to make knowledgeable decisions about their futures. This timely resource provides critical guidance educators and families need to transition into postsecondary education and careers with purposeful success. The authors offer a powerful storehouse of informa- tion and suggestions that fills a long-standing vacuum in our professional resources.” Patricia K. Ralabate Senior Policy Analyst, National Education Association “This book is a primer for teaching all students with special needs who are moving from the protective environment of our secondary schools to self- reliance, self-advocacy and independence. The need for this resource is growing as the number of students with disabilities entering our post sec- ondary institutions continues to increase. Moreover, this resource is a life- line for parents who are asking what’s next, where do we go from here, and who can we go to for services when needed? This book fills a void in our FM-Kochhar-Bryant-45701:FM-Kochhar-Bryant -45701 8/18/2008 5:12 PM Page i vstapleton Text Box [GLOBAL CHANGE: In the Corwin reproducible (copyright notice), capitalize "With" in the title of this book (see the change marked on page 180.] profession’s ability to identify the keys elements, strategies, and resources required for successful transition into postsecondary education.” Dr. Robert N. Ianacone Associate Dean, Graduate School of Education and Human Development The George Washington University (former President of the International Division on Career Development) “IDEA 2004 recognized that a focus on postsecondary outcomes must drive transition planning for students with IEPs. For far too long, these outcomes have reflected high unemployment and underemployment rates, incomes below the poverty level, and participation in postsecondary education at rates not commensurate with their peers without disabilities. While secondary educators have improved opportunities for the develop- ment of skills necessary for academic success and transition to the next set- ting, there is a need for practitioner-friendly information on what persons with disabilities need to access postsecondary education and careers as well as how their participation in these areas can improve their outcomes. Kochhar-Bryant, Bassett, & Webb do a fine job in responding to this need.” Michael J. Ward Coordinator, Transition Special Education Distance Education Certificate Program The George Washington University Department of Teacher Preparation and Special Education (former Director, National Center on Self-Determination) (former Branch Chief, Office of Secondary Education and Transition Services U.S.Office of Special Education) “This book meets the need for a comprehensive set of strategies for assist- ing the transition of young adults into the postsecondary education and work environments. A wide variety of stakeholders, including general, special, and career and technical educators; counselors; disability advo- cates; representatives of community agencies; teacher educators; employ- ers, and of course, families will find this book useful. This resource is well-written, easy to read, and addresses many facets and avenues for transitioning effectively.
