Occupational Therapy in Post-secondary Transition: Barriers, Strategies, & Experiences
Creator:
Jones, Lauren Elizabeth
Date of publication:
2016
Abstract Tesim:
Background: •Federal law requires students with disabilities to receive post-secondary transition services focused on education, work, independent living, and community participation outcomes •Because the law does not define a specific transition process, service coordination and delivery is often haphazard and ineffective •Although occupational therapists (OTs) are well-equipped to be on transition teams, few are involved in this high-need area of practice •Barriers to OT practice in transition include lack of interagency planning, parent participation, and therapist education about relevant assessments and interventions What are the unique strategies, challenges, and experiences of occupational therapists involved in post-secondary transition planning for youths with disabilities?

Best Practices vs. Reality: Student-centeredness In Post-secondary Transition Planning
Creator:
Mooneyham, Erin Kirks
Date of publication:
2016
Abstract Tesim:
Introduction: •Transitioning from high school to post-secondary education, employment, or other opportunity is especially difficult for individuals with an intellectual and/or developmental disability (IDD). •Research has shown that transition-planning should be student-centered, meaning empowering the student to participate and share his/her emotions, opinions, and perspective. •Federal legislation states that transition services must be “based on the individual child’s needs, taking into account the child’s strengths, preferences, and interests.” •There is little research that seeks to gain the student’s perspective on transition. Research question: From the student's perspective, how can transition planning be more student-centered?

Understanding Parents' Transition Choices for their Children with Intellectual Disabilities
Creator:
Dallman, Aaron
Date of publication:
2016
Abstract Tesim:
Introduction: • Federal law mandates that all individuals who qualify for special education have transition goals be discussed at their IEP meeting by age 16.1 • Person-centered transitions are one model of transitions which advocates for keeping the individual and their family at the center of care. • For individuals with moderate to severe intellectual disabilities (ID), most have parents who are their primary caregivers. • Research has identified what influences parent’s decisions after the transition. However, it has failed to examine these factors before their child’s post-secondary transition. Research Question: 1. What factors influence parent’s post-secondary transition decisions for their child with intellectual disabilities? 2. When do parents first think about the post-secondary transition?
