Reflection
Despite advances in
education, disability rights
policy, the support of federal
mandates, and increased
funding of programs and
initiatives that impact all
youth, the post-school
outcomes for far too many of
our nation's youth and young
adults are still poor. The
current status translates not
only into untapped talent and
potential and unfulfilled
dreams, but severely limits
America's preparation of
today's youth for full
participation in tomorrow's
society. This report brings
attention to persistent issues
and problems that various
national studies.
Vocational Education
in SPED Schools
Vocational special education
is intended for learners needing extra
teaching or student support services
due to disability, illness, delayed
development, emotional difficulties or
other reasons, using special teaching.
Same qualifications can be
achieved in vocational special
education than in any other vocational
education. Teaching can be
differentiated partly or in whole
depending on students’ learning
needs. An Individual Educational Plan
(IEP) will be created for such students
where their individual learning needs
will be considered.
Preparatory and rehabilitative
training for disabled students is for
those requiring training in basic skills
before entering to vocational
education or staring their other
education programs. One aim for this
type of training could also be to
improve the access to working life and
independentliving.
vocational special education is
provided in vocational specialcolleges
which are obliged to provide such
training according to their license. In
addition, they have to offerpreparatory
and rehabilitation teaching and training
for disabled students. Vocational
Special Colleges function as
development centers from where other
colleges could seek for consultation
related to specialeducation.

Simply put, transition is helping students with disabilities and
their families think about their life after high school and identify long-
range goals designing the high school experience to ensure that
students gain the skills and connections, they need to achieve these
goals the provision of funds and services to local school districts to
assist in the transition process. This transitional process will include
many facets of planning for the future and should be fully understood
by everyone concerned each step of the way. Planning for the future
is an investment in a child's well-being!
First step to facilitating the school-to-work transition involves
an open discussion with the student and his parents. It is important to
understand the student’s needs, preferences and abilities, as well as
his or her parents’ plans for the future.
