Wehman (physical medicine and rehabilitation, Virginia Commonwealth U.) is joined by special education, rehabilitation, employment training and support, occupational therapy, and other specialists from the US to explain how current and future special education teachers can help young people with intellectual, physical, emotional, and learning disabilities and autism make the transition from school to adulthood. They focus on these students' strengths and the importance of work, transition planning, self-determination and self-advocacy, living skills, assistive technology, high-stakes testing, postsecondary education, multiculturalism, social competence, inclusion, parental involvement, and other aspects. This edition has new chapters on working with families, multicultural transition planning, teaching social skills, and secondary curriculum options. It has new contributors, more practical guidance, more case studies, and new research, statistics, and legislation. Videos, PowerPoint presentations, activities, chapter introductions, and a test bank are available online. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
