Complete Guide to Special Education Transition Services

This comprehensive resource gives teachers, counselors and parents a wealth of practical information and suggestions for helping special students make a successful transition from high school to further education or work.

Written by a veteran school psychologist and a social worker, the Guide covers procedures, current laws, school responsibilities, available support services within the school and community, legal requirements, forms, parents' responsibilities, rights, and anything else necessary to ease students through the transitional process.

For easy use, materials are organized by issues into 13 chapters and include issues under the responsibility of the school district, such as transitional Independent Education Plans (IEPs), as well as issues strictly within the domain of the family, such as wills.
