Background:

  • The transition from secondary school to adult life presents unique challenges for individuals with handicaps.

  • Understanding parental awareness and preferences regarding transition services is essential for program development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine parent involvement in transition programs for individuals with handicaps.
  • To assess parental awareness of existing transition services.
  • To identify parental preferences for their child's post-school life.

  • Preferences regarding post-school living arrangements, employment, and wages were also surveyed.

    • Main Results:

    • A significant number of parents were unaware of any available transition programs.

    • Parents indicated preferences for their children to live independently, work in the community, and earn a competitive wage.

    Conclusions:

    • There is a critical need to improve communication and outreach regarding transition services for individuals with handicaps.
    • Transition programs should actively seek and facilitate meaningful parental involvement.
    • Program planning must align with parental preferences for community integration, employment, and financial independence.
