ABSTRACT
In this chapter Jenny Corbett and Len Barton take a critical look at the concept of ‘transition into adult life’ for young people with disabilities and those categorised as having learning difficulties. They argue that the barriers to participation which exist in society should be given greater recognition. They discuss the approaches and difficulties encountered in further education and youth training. They describe a reality in which pressures to exclude and marginalise young people with disabilities or those categorised as having learning difficulties, are still very strong.
