Synopsis

In this handbook, the authors compile more than 500 research-based, teacher-tested, transition support strategies that have been proven to work for teachers, employment specialists, families, and students.
Full of options for tailoring approaches to individual students' needs and preferences, these strategies help develop supports in school, at work, and in the community while they increase students' social competence. The handbook's easy-to-use, menu-style format lets readers turn to relevant strategies for their specific situation without having to read the entire book. Photocopiable checklists and observational forms are included throughout to help readers apply these strategies immediately.
Perfect for training teachers and for guiding IEP teams, this user-friendly resource enables teachers and families to become interactive partners with their students as they help them make a successful transition from high school to adult life.

Review:

"specifically gives strategies for how to implement training techniques and support strategies in the context of community and social living...It truly is a handbook for how to design and implement transition supports and as such is a must for all secondary teachers." "Hughes and Carter seek to turn recent research into practical strategies for secondary school teachers to use with students who have disabilities, are at risk for failure, or need additional support transitioning from high school to adult life."
