An integral element of maximizing positive postschool outcomes for youth with disabilities is interagency collaboration. Centers for Independent Living (CILs) can be critical service providers for youth and young adults with disabilities. This study explored CIL professionals’ contributions in supporting transition-age youth. Furthermore, the study examined these professionals’ perspectives of why CIL involvement is vital in transition service delivery. Eight dyads consisting of a CIL administrator and a CIL staff member providing direct services to transition-age youth with disabilities were interviewed from eight U.S. CILs. Thematic analysis of each interview transcript yielded themes related to the scope of services that CILs are providing in tandem with special education professionals, and why CIL professionals believe their involvement in secondary transition is critical. Findings included that interview participants delineated three overarching areas where CILs support transition-age youth while collaborating with schools. Furthermore, the findings showed that the crucial nature of CIL involvement in the transition service delivery process is rooted in several value-based principles. These five value-based principles were as follows: (a) Empowerment-, autonomy-, and independence-based, (b) youth-led and individualized, (c) strengths-based and goal-driven, (d) peer-based and disability-pride-driven, and (e) ensuring services were available and accessible. These findings, implications for practice, and future research directions are also discussed.

Welcome to the third issue of 2022! As we move into summer 2022, it definitely seems things are somewhat returning to normal. In May, we celebrated our first in person conference at the Division on Career Development and Transition international conference in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. This was the first in person event since fall of 2019 when we were all together in Seattle, Washington. It was great to see many of you at our Career Development and Transition for Exceptional Individuals (CDTEI) Editorial Board meeting in person at DCDT. As editors of CDTEI, we continue to be proud of the field of secondary transition and greatly appreciative of the continued, rigorous work of our reviewers and authors. We are excited to share issue 45:3 with you.

College students on the autism spectrum report the following support needs: interpersonal skills and coping with unexpected change. The purpose of this pilot study was to investigate the effects of an interpersonal skills seminar using elements of the PEERS® curriculum on the acquisition of conversational behaviors by three young adults on the autism spectrum who were attending a summer college transition program designed to help prepare and familiarize individuals with college living. A multiple probe across behaviors design was used. According to visual analysis, a functional relation was not established between participation and acquisition of foundational conversational skills. Our findings provide a model for how state vocational rehabilitation agencies and institutes of higher education can collaborate to provide effective support for college students with autism spectrum disorder.

This study examined previous literature that described approaches to interagency collaboration and identified the most appropriate practices to implement while working with transition-age youth with disabilities and their families. Within this qualitative content analysis review of literature on interagency collaboration, we used the theory of working alliance and its three categories (i.e., goals, bonds, tasks) to support best practices in interagency collaboration for youth with disabilities. Twelve themes were developed to support the three categories and define how stakeholders could create successful interagency collaboration. These themes can be used to provide guidance for best practices to inform successful interagency collaboration among those involved in the transition planning process. Limitations and implications for future research and practice are discussed.

This study explored the postsecondary transition experiences of young women who were deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) at a higher education institution in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). Data were collected using semi-structured interviews with 17 undergraduate women who were DHH and enrolled in a higher education institution in the KSA. The data were analyzed thematically and inductively using qualitative analyses software. Eight themes emerged from the data analysis. These themes reflected a wide range of transition experiences among students who were DHH, including their previous experiences in high school, their current experiences in higher education, and preparation to make the transition from college to work. Implications for future research and practice are discussed and include further exploration about the impacts of postsecondary education programs in supporting positive outcomes and working to close the gaps between policy and practice.

Increasing numbers of academically talented students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are accessing higher education. This is an underserved and understudied cohort of students, as their talents can mask their autism, or their autism can mask their talents. We conducted interviews with 11 professionals who support academically talented students with ASD at 10 very competitive 4-year institutions in the United States. Findings highlighted the significant academic and personal strengths that these students bring to college, factors that can be incorporated into secondary transition planning for twice exceptional ASD students. Suggestions about important concepts that both families and secondary transition personnel should understand regarding the differences between high school and college are also provided. Implications for secondary transition planning are discussed.

Providing transition planning and services to students with emotional disturbance (ED) can enhance their success in postsecondary education, employment, and independent living. This qualitative study explores how special educators in Riyadh, the capital city of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), perceive the necessity of promoting transition services for high school students with ED and developing important aspects to implement these services. Study participants were ten special educators majoring in ED who were purposefully sampled from a special education graduate program. The results indicate that all study participants believe there is a need to promote transition services in Saudi schools to support students with ED. The results also highlight four fundamental foundations that educators want to develop to promote the implementation of transition services in Saudi schools: the regulation of special education, transition assessment tools, transition teamwork, and teacher professional development programs in transition. Recommendations for future research are discussed as well.

The present study examined the transition component of the Individualized Education Program for 62 secondary students with autism. Plans were coded using a rubric adapted from Indicator 13 of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act. Findings indicated a mean plan score of 10.5 out of 20.0, with a range of 3.0 to 20.0. Strengths were noted in Transition Services, with Course of Study and Transition Assessment as areas of relative need. Student characteristics—including adaptive behavior, IQ, and self-determination—were associated with components of transition plan quality. Plan quality differences were found based on diploma status and the quality of the school environment. Implications for supporting educators in writing and implementing quality transition planning are discussed.
