Abstract

Research on employment, residential, and social outcomes of youth transitioning from school to adulthood is reviewed. Results of follow-up studies show that only a few youths with disabilities are employed after leaving school. Further, these young adults are even less integrated into employment, independent living, and community activities as they age. The variables that may enhance selected community integration outcomes are also discussed. Variables that may enhance transition efforts include work experience in the community, good interpersonal skills, family involvement, and support from others. Finally, future directions for special education are discussed.
