Improving Transition Planning for Young People with Special Educational Needs by Lesley Dee
Transition planning for young people with special educational needs is a crucial but often overlooked element of social inclusion. While there is now considerable official guidance on how to manage the school leaving process for young people with learning difficulties and/or disabilities, little is known about how to make effective transitions happen in practice.
This book supports the transition experiences of young people with a range of special educational needs. The book:
- Provides insights into the experiences and perspectives of young people, their parents or carers and the professionals who support them during the transition period
- Explores influences on the decision-making processes and the involvement of young people and their parents or carers
- Suggests practical ways in which young people and their families and carers can be supported during the transition to adulthood.
