For students who are English learners and diagnosed with a disability, additional challenges may arise as they navigate barriers associated with ableism, racism, and learning a new language. In this ethnographic interview study, we explore how collaboration works across the “triad,” or between dually identified students, their families, and their teachers in the transition planning process. We observed three patterns that appeared to hinder or facilitate successful transition planning: (a) divergence or missed opportunities for collaboration, (b) convergence and collaboration with a focus on secondary experiences and challenges, and (c) convergence and collaboration with a focus on postschool goals. We discuss each finding and provide recommendations for future research and practice to support improved collaboration and transition planning practices for dually identified students.","PeriodicalId":47075,"journal":{"name":"Career Development and Transition for Exceptional Individuals","volume":"46 1","pages":"211 - 222"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47337360","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Participants were 240 parents of youth with disabilities ages 16 to 21 years. Results indicate that parent concerns are across postschool activities. Predictors of increased concerns included parent and student characteristics. Comparisons between White and non-White families showed differences in extent of postschool concerns between the groups.

An advantage of the SDLMI is that it can be overlaid upon any curriculum and, therefore, can minimize opportunity costs for self-determination instruction. Using the ingredients method, the current study: (a) identified and described the essential ingredients of SDLMI implementation in typical high school settings, (b) assigned and described the cost of needed ingredients, and (c) calculated a generalizable estimate of the average cost of using the SDLMI with 340 students for one school year across 17 school districts to be $40,221.26 (or $118.30 per student). We discuss how decision-makers considering using the SDLMI in their context can minimize costs while maximizing effects on transition goal attainment outcomes.

Until recently, college and career readiness efforts did not appear to include an explicit focus on students with disabilities. Because most U.S. students with disabilities spend time in general education settings, general education teachers need strategies to prepare all students for college and careers. The predictors of postschool success appear ideal to support general education teachers with this effort. We investigated the use of an asynchronous online intervention to increase two general education teachers’ knowledge of three predictors of postschool success. Results were promising in that the intervention increased participants’ knowledge of the three predictors.
