Case Studies in Transition and Employment for Students and Adults with Disabilities

by Keith Storey

This book is intended to give support providers the understanding, knowledge, and skills for providing transition and employment services in schools, employment, community, and residential settings and thereby improve the quality of life for the individuals that they support. The rubber meets the road, not only in how to support an individual with a disability, but also in how to implement instructional strategies, services, and systems change so that positive quality of life outcomes occur.
This book responds to a critical need for highly qualified personnel who will become exemplary professionals in transition and employment settings because of their advanced knowledge, skills, and experiences in working with students and adults with varying disabilities. An advantage of this book is that universities, school districts, and organizations preparing support providers can easily use it in courses or trainings that address transition and employment services as the case studies comprehensively cover methodology and issues that represent best practices and evidence based methods in these areas. Those who are already support providers will find the case studies to be practical and helpful for increasing their skills in applied settings.
