Abstract

BACKGROUND: It is critically important to identify the longstanding needs for improved post-secondary transition outcomes among youth with disabilities. OBJECTIVE: This interagency case study aimed to examine stakeholders’ perceptions regarding transition-related counseling needs of students with disabilities through analysis of thick description. METHODS: Individual interviews were conducted with stakeholders including parents, teachers, administrators, and counseling service providers who work with transition students with disabilities. RESULTS: Data analysis resulted in three overarching unmet needs: (1) equity of resources, accommodations & services, (2) life skills training/interventions, (3) individual & family counseling/guidance, and (4) interagency collaboration. CONCLUSION: In addition to identifying counseling, guidance, and case management needs of transition students with disabilities and gaining stakeholders’ perspectives and recommendations, this study also provides insights on the role of counselors in transition within a multidisciplinary school setting.
