ABSTRACT

The transition of young people with disabilities is continuing to receive signifi cant attention (Rusch, Hughes, Agran, Martin, & Johnson, 2009; Test, Mazzotti, Mustian, Fowler, Kortering, & Kohler, 2009; and Wehman, 2010). Transition is the normal culmination of years of schooling, growth, and development. For adolescents with disabilities there is an especially strong need for a blueprint for the future. This blueprint can be formatted on a transition IEP and should refl ect a balance of work, community and social skills, travel, fi nancial literacy, and self-determination.
