Abstract

Transition services, as they pertain to special education, have been fine-tuned over the years to help prepare students with disabilities for life after high school. Choosing an institution of higher education and a field of work can be a daunting task. It does not have to be, especially if students with disabilities had the right support in place as dictated by their individualized education and transition plans. This chapter is dedicated to transition services. The purposes of this chapter are threefold. First, the chapter reflects on the history of special education and transition services and how changes in the laws have led to present day practices. Second, the chapter defines transition services, and the support students can receive in today's educational world. Third, the chapter looks into the future to determine possible recommendations for positive change.
