Greene (special education, California State U., Long Beach) offers a guide to guiding culturally and linguistically diverse youth with disabilities through the transition process. Focusing on youth ages 14 to 22, he describes the concept of cultural and linguistic diversity, the relationship between socioeconomic status and the transition to quality adult life, and research on their transition experiences. Subsequent chapters address culturally responsive transition planning and practices; individualized education plans (IEPs) and summary of functional performance documents (SOPs), with examples; and the role of teacher leadership in promoting organizational change and successful transitions. Checklists, case studies, handouts, and interviews with transition specialists are incorporated. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
