ABSTRACT

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to review domestic and foreign studies related to family-involved interventions for the adulthood transition of students with disabilities by systematically analyzing the specific areas, implementation methods, and outcomes of family-involved transition interventions. This study also aimed to suggest implications for activating family-involved interventions for the transition to adulthood. [Method] A total of 21 domestic and foreign studies published between 2013 and 2022 were selected and analyzed by publication year, country, experimental design, study participants, the characteristics of the intervention, implementation method, and outcomes of the intervention. [Results] The results are as follows. First, among 21 studies, 18 were published after 2017. Quantitative research was the most common, with 16 studies taking experimental design. There were 5 studies in which only family members were involved while there were 16 studies in which students and families participated together. Second, in terms of the areas of transition interventions, most studies dealt with employment, and information provision was the main method of intervention delivery. Third, the majority of studies examined family capacity building, and standardized rating scales were most commonly used to measure outcomes. [Conclusion] Considering the importance of family participation in the transition of students with disabilities to adulthood, research and policies on support systems for families of students with disabilities during transition process should be activated.
