“…The finding that occurrence of problems related to psychological, coping, work, and behavior areas of functioning was consistent with literature (Getzel & Kregel, 1996;McInerney & McInerney, 1994;Siporin, 1999). Work related problems such as poor attendance, difficulty acquiring new work skills, and mobility between the home and community environments suggested a lack of exposure to new environments and inadequate preparation for a post-school environment.…”

“…A relatively successful transition outcome could be predicted if most, if not all of the facilitating factors, were present (see Table 4). These factors corresponded to the essential elements of a transition program cited by Getzel and Kregel (1996);Hanley-Maxwell, Whitney-Thomas et al (1995); McInerney andMcInerney (1994), andO'Reilly (2000). Johnson emphasized that transition for persons with developmental disabilities requires a deliberate planning process.…”

This study describes school to post-school transition problems, factors, activities and professionals involved in transition. Parents (n=86) of children with developmental disabilities, aged 14 and older, answered a questionnaire addressing study objectives. Parents reported work, psychological, coping and environmental problems related to transition. Factors perceived to facilitate smooth transition include coordination among service providers, early planning, presence of support systems and training in and exposure to post-school environments/activities. Lack of adolescent and adult programs, absence of planning and lack of knowledge about transition were perceived to hinder smooth transition. Activities listed for transitioning include planning, contact with agencies, professionals and potential employers, and work training. Teachers, doctors and occupational therapists were reported to be involved in the process. Results suggest a practice area addressing adolescent and adult needs. Further studies are needed to explore the efficacy of transition programs for this population.

As the number of students with disabilities who are entering postsecondary education continues to rise, the need for their adequate preparation to successfully complete programs of study is a critical concern. A common characteristic of students who successfully enter and complete programs of study in postsecondary settings is that of having self-determination skills. This article discusses the results of a pilot study that implemented the self-determined learning model of instruction, modified for use in postsecondary education settings. Evaluation results are discussed with implications for further research.

This article examines how internships in higher education can benefit all students as they prepare for their careers beyond graduation and particularly students with disabilities. Under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act, universities have a responsibility to insure equal access and accommodation for students with disabilities during the internship process. Two particular issues faced by students with disabilities that have been identified through a review of recent case law include (1) meeting academic and technical standards for a program and (2) disclosing their disabilities and requesting accommodations. Key principles and support strategies which address the issues and concerns of internships for students with disabilities, developed as part of a comprehensive career-planning program for postsecondary students with disabilities at Virginia Commonwealth University, are discussed.
