Abstract

Although the number of individuals with disabilities entering postsecondary education is increasing, it is still far behind those without disabilities. If individuals with disabilities are going to be prepared to enter higher status jobs, training after high school must be considered as a viable component of the transition process. This article focuses on (a) what the law requires of postsecondary education institutions, (b) the information and documentation required at the postsecondary level, and (c) preparation for the transition to postsecondary education. For the purposes of this article, the term postsecondary education is used to include programs whose emphasis is further education or institution-based vocational and technical training. Although educational institutions may be involved in some way in apprenticeship and on-the-job training programs, these programs are not covered in this article.
