Parents and the School-to-Work Transition of Special Needs Youth by Bettina A. Lankard; ERIC Digest #142. advertisement Credits Source ERIC Clearinghouse on Adult, Career, and Vocational Education Contents Conditions That Necessitate Transition Services Laws That Mandate Transition Assistance Parents' Desire for Involvement Multidisciplinary Teams for Transition Planning ... References Forums Learning and Other Disabilities Related Articles Parenting A Child With Special Needs: A Guide To Readings And Resources Individualized Education Programs The school-to-work transition of the nation's youth has been a major focus of vocational education efforts for the past decade. Educators help students identify their interests and abilities, engage in career education and career development activities, and develop individual education plans. Although these activities are significant, their comprehensiveness and effectiveness are limited by staff and time. "The ratio of students to counselors in public high schools is almost 300 to 1; and school guidance counselors are able to spend less than one hour of every five on career counseling" (Otto 1989, p. 161). Add to this the unique and complicated counseling needs of students with disabilities and it becomes apparent that other actors, primarily parents, must be included in the school-to-work transition of youth. Will defines transition as "an outcome-oriented process encompassing a broad array of services and experiences that lead to employment" (Friedenberg et al. 1993, p. 235). The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) of 1990 defines transition services as "a coordinated set of activities for a student, designed within an outcome-oriented process, which promotes movement from school to post-school activities, including postsecondary education, vocational training, integrated employment (including supported employment), continuing and adult education, adult services, independent living, or community participation" (ibid.). This ERIC DIGEST looks at the challenges of effecting successful transitions, particularly for students with disabilities, and parents' roles in the transition process.

Cerebral Palsy Deaf/Hearing Impaired Epilepsy Learning Disability ... Other Health Impairments Learning Disability Alfred A. Strauss, M.D., in the 1940s, was the first to describe the behaviors of children now identified as learning disabled or LD. Children and adults with learning disabilities are not mentally retarded or "slow to learn;" rather, most of these individuals have average or above-average intelligence. For an individual with a learning disability the messages to the brain become jumbled. This makes it difficult for them to learn in one or more of the academic areas; however, they can learn and become successful. For example, you may recognize some of these individuals who had LD: Thomas Edison, Albert Einstein, Beethoven, Louis Pasteur, Woodrow Wilson, Winston Churchill, and Nelson Rockefeller. They learned to compensate for their difficulties by learning in ways that are different from how other people may have learned. Experts believe that there are between 6 to 10 million children with some type of learning disability. Research indicates that undetected learning disabilities may be the problem of a large number of children who do not do well in school.

N EWS A RTICLES OF S PECIAL I NTEREST F ROM A ROUND T HE C OUNTRY "GOING TOO FAR FOR DISABLED CHILDREN" The April, 1999 newsletter for this Cape Girardeau-based organization has the following article. By Joseph Bauers "A new student will be coming soon to an Illinois third-grade classroom. He cannot speak; he cannot read; he cannot walk. He can only go a minute or so without drooling. He has no bladder or bowel control. Like an infant, he needs frequent changes. He makes wild, uncontrolled movements and loud, involuntary noises. Whether he can learn anything - beyond simple gestures indicating yes or no - is, as of yet, unknown. But this child, like thousands of others around the country, is part of a little known revolution in education. It is called total inclusion, and it proposes the removal of disabled and retarded students from special education and their reassignment to regular classrooms. In my 26 years in the public schools, I have seen any number of inane ideas spawned by bureaucrats, but this notion stretches the bounds of rationality. It is so wrong and so ill-timed that it challenges our very capacity to wonder. Behind this movement is a hard-core of parents, lawyers, advocacy groups, college professors and education bureaucrats - all of whom are working hard to impose a tyranny of the minority on the rest of us. And they are doing so under the guise of helping those children least able to help themselves.
