ABSTRACT

There is a growing understanding that transition education is one of the effective ways to increase special education outcomes and successful adult lives of students with disabilities. Because there is no national rehabilitation support system for adults with disabilities who are in the transition process from school to adulthood in our country, school-based transition education should be an integral part of special education. The purpose of this study was to develop a school-based transition education model and suggest related education programs and methods for students with development disabilities. This study suggested a school-based transition education model that looked like well applicable to the current education situation of our country by analyzing several important transition models and methods. The school-based transition education model consisted of two parts: a transition education content model and a transition education application model. In addition, some education programs and methods regarding the school-based transition education model were discussed as follows: integrated and continuous education method, transition assessment, ITP and multy-year IEP, functional life skill program and methods, and community-based work training programs. These education programs and methods were presented in an attempt to suggest best education practices for the school-based transition education model.
