| Summary | Increasing numbers of students with learning disabilities are now enrolling in postsecondary institutions. Consequently, high school and university professionals continue to provide transition support to larger numbers of college-bound students with learning disabilities. The purpose of this study was to identity issues and related services that are commonly perceived by educational professionals in secondary and postO secondary settings to be important considerations during this transition process. Professionals who are currently providing transition services in high school and college settings were asked to participate in this study. The survey responses confirmed the importance of many of issues and services currently reported in different types of educational literature, revealed additional issues and services to consider, and compiled information from many sources into one resource. The information gathered from this study can be used by professionals to better understand and assist the postsecondary transition process for students with learning disabilities. |
