Abstract:
Parent involvement in programs facilitating the transition of persons with handicaps from school to adult life (work, independent living) was examined. The survey found that a significant number of parents were unaware of any transition program for their offspring, although virtually all parents desired involvement of some kind. Parents also indicated preferences relating to their child not living at home upon graduation from school, working in the community, and earning a wage greater than or equal to the minimum.
