Transition services for disabled students begin in high school and have been shown to impact their ability to matriculate to college or obtain employment. A review of the literature illustrates that there is a statistical gap between those postsecondary young adults with and without disabilities who enter college or the world of work. It is unclear how collaboration between Local Education Agencies (LEAs), community colleges, and the California Department of Rehabilitation impacts transitions for students with disabilities in moving forward to college or the world of work. Program Theory is used as a tool in this proposed study to understand how transition service programs are implemented in California Local Education Agencies (LEAs) for both disabled high school students and those that have graduated. In addition, the Logic Model Theory of Change provides an opportunity to examine why collaboration has been a difficult challenge between Local Education Agencies, community colleges, and state agencies in providing transition services for disabled young adults. This proposed study is intended to be a cross-sectional analysis of transition service collaboration for disabled high school students and postsecondary young adults. Survey data will be collected from Local Education Agency case managers, community college disabled services representatives, and Department of Rehabilitation representatives in Los Angeles County to identify the obstacles that inhibit collaboration between the transition service team members, the key ingredients that lead to successful transition services for students with disabilities, and how this postgraduate transition service team can better communicate with each other about services provided.

Students with disabilities face several longstanding challenges accessing services that may assist them as they transition from high school into post-secondary education or the workforce services, such as tutoring, vocational training, and assistive technology. Eligible students with disabilities are entitled to transition planning services during high school, but after leaving high school, to receive services that facilitate their transition they must apply as adults and establish eligibility for programs administered by multiple federal agencies. This book focuses on ways to better the federal co-ordination, its ability to lessen challenges students with disabilities face in the transition from high school.

A strong theme emphasizes four essential elements of transition and connects content across chapters and topics. Unlike other books, this one offers a unique backward planning process that focuses on a student's self-determined goals and post-school environments as a basis for current transition planning."-- Back cover.
