{"product_id":"2940148749974","title":"The Post-High School Outcomes of Youth With Disabilities up to 4 Years After High School","description":"At various times in history, changes in economic and social conditions have generated a\u003cbr\u003ereconsideration of how best to characterize the life stages through which most individuals in a\u003cbr\u003esociety progress. Increasingly, researchers contend that changes in the latter part of the 20th\u003cbr\u003ecentury and the early 21st century have brought us to another such time of reconsideration\u003cbr\u003e(e.g., Fussell and Furstenberg 2005). They suggest that, among other social shifts, an increasing\u003cbr\u003eemphasis on postsecondary education and the growing struggles postadolescents face in\u003cbr\u003ebecoming economically self-sufficient elongate or postpone the transitions usually associated\u003cbr\u003ewith adulthood—“completion of schooling, movement from the parental household, entrance\u003cbr\u003einto the labor force, formation of partnerships, and the onset of childbearing and parenting”\u003cbr\u003e(Furstenberg, Rumbaut, and Settersten 2005, p. 7). Recognizing this reality, a growing body of\u003cbr\u003eresearch focuses on the period of “early adulthood” as distinct from adolescence and full\u003cbr\u003eadulthood (e.g., Arnett 2002; 2001).\u003cbr\u003eThe National Longitudinal Transition Study-2 (NLTS2), funded by the National Center for\u003cbr\u003eSpecial Education Research at the Institute of Education Sciences, U.S. Department of\u003cbr\u003eEducation, provides a unique source of information to help in developing an understanding of the\u003cbr\u003eexperiences of secondary school students with disabilities nationally as they go through their\u003cbr\u003eearly adult years. NLTS2 is a 10-year-long study of the characteristics, experiences, and\u003cbr\u003eoutcomes of a nationally representative sample of youth with disabilities who were 13 to\u003cbr\u003e16 years old and receiving special education services in grade 7 or above, under the Individuals\u003cbr\u003eWith Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) in the 2000–01 school year. NLTS2 findings generalize\u003cbr\u003eto youth with disabilities nationally and to youth in each of the 12 federal special education\u003cbr\u003edisability categories in use for students in the NLTS2 age range. The study is designed to collect\u003cbr\u003edata on sample members from multiple sources in five waves, beginning in 2001 and ending\u003cbr\u003ein 2009.","brand":"ReadCycle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47111429423344,"sku":"2940148749974","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940148749974_p0.jpg?v=1763708381","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940148749974","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
