Abstract
Transition is the process of moving from secondary school to post-secondary community-based living (IDEA, 2004) and poses challenges for all young adults but is particularly demanding for individuals with significant disabilities. Adolescent to adulthood transition services have the potential to increase positive outcomes for people with significant disabilities, thereby better ensuring that they live full, included adult lives. It is vital that speech-language pathologists, along with other school and community-based support professionals, act in concert with families and youths to develop and implement successful transition services. This study focuses on best practices for successful transitions from the perspective of students and their families.
