Abstract
This chapter, developed by faculty who self-organized as an interdisciplinary, collaborative team in the implementation of these two 325K projects, Teaming for Transition, funded at the University of Arkansas, describes a shared, core focus to better prepare professionals to support youth with disabilities in transition to adulthood. The authors share how across disciplines of Special Education, Communication Disorders, Vocational Rehabilitation, School Counseling, Social Work, and School Administration, the projects Teaming for Transition and Teaming for Transition – Preparing Youth for Work and Community have been designed and implemented around a shared framework, using innovative online learning technologies, with an inquiry-based approach to understanding the challenges of transition for youth in Arkansas and beyond. They share lessons learned and implications for faculty seeking to de-silo across programs, colleges, and disciplines.
