Transition to Postsecondary Education for Students With Disabilities

Help students navigate the transition from high school to postsecondary education!

Designed for general and special education teachers, this resource provides guidelines and examples of how educators can help high school students plan ahead for successful transitions to postsecondary education. The authors offer vignettes of students discussing support that has been helpful; present case studies of students with special support needs; provide students perspectives; and answer questions that include:

• What changes can a student expect during transition from high school?
• What do students say about what works for them?
• How do self-determination skills promote a successful transition?
• How can families support students in transition?
• What role do community agencies play in supporting transitions?
