Description
A Collaborative Approach to Transition Planning for Students With Disabilities is designed to inform aspiring special education teachers, special education teams, transition planning specialists, and school administrators about the complex process of transition planning and to meet the transition requirements of special education legislation. Dr. JoAnn M. Rae has been in the field of special education for 34 years, in service as a special education teacher, special education administrator, teacher certification supervisor, and college faculty. In this text, she outlines a framework for transition planning specially designed to advance each student's involvement and participation in planning for their post-school lives, in the presence of the most severe sensory and intellectual disabilities and also in the case of each disability category under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. Unique scenarios not typically seen in other textbooks, such as Individualized Education Plan team disagreements, students with terminal illnesses, students with ill or overworked parents, or students living in poverty, are also explored. The text also includes: Descriptions of research-based practices to maximize students' self-determination, autonomy, goal setting, and ability to have successful life experiences, Opportunities to integrate knowledge with practice by providing strategies that relate to the real-life difficulties students and transition planning specialists may encounter, Easy-to-replicate communication tools, such as letters to students and parents, as examples to enhance collaboration, Methods for teachers to effectively promote and increase student involvement and collaboration by using structured and interactive interviews, A Collaborative Approach to Transition Planning for Students With Disabilities reflects the universal challenges that teachers, families and, finally, the students themselves face as they progress through school with a disability. For students with disabilities, the key component to successful transition planning is creating a collaborative atmosphere that allows them to be successful. This book promises to serve as an essential resource to all who are dedicated to that goal. Book jacket.
