How Research Informs Transition Planning for Students with High Incidence Disabilities
Type
Webinar
Description
Today students with disabilities are finding more opportunities to attend college and technical schools. Assistive technology (AT) is proving to be a staple tool that students with disabilities are using to achieve success in post-secondary settings. Students who qualify have access to textbooks in electronic format and will probably use computer and tablet-based software to help them read their textbooks and gain comprehension. AT tools are also very helpful for large amounts of writing and in-class, study-related note-taking and research. If these tools are becoming an accepted part of the tool-set of college students with disabilities as they successfully navigate their post-secondary curricula, how should this inform the transition planning of students with disabilities whose trajectory includes continuing their education beyond high school? What does research have to tell us about decision making related to AT and whether mastery of AT in high school impacts academic achievement? This session reviews recent research on AT and transition including the National Longitudinal Transition Study (NLTS2) and the AMAC Study as well as other related research. Implications for secondary education and transition planning will be discussed.
