Abstract
Students with disabilities continue to lag behind their peers without disabilities in post secondary education and employment. Outcomes of youth with disabilities are influenced by many factors, including but not limited to parent expectations and services received to support individual needs. One important transition service that can be provided to students while in high school to assist in mitigating poor outcomes for youth with disabilities is access to career technical education. The National Technical Assistance Center on Transition (NTACT) assists State Education Agencies, Local Education Agencies, State VR agencies, and VR service providers in implementing evidence-based and promising practices ensuring students with disabilities, including those with significant disabilities, graduate prepared for success in postsecondary education and employment. As a part of these efforts, NTACT creates, organizes, and disseminates information to help districts, schools, and teachers support students with disabilities in order to help them achieve positive in-school and post-school outcomes. This report provides a sample program of study for student on track to receive an alternate diploma reflecting CTE. After graduation from high school, the student discussed in this report will be able to work 20 or more hours as a sous chef in the deli of a local grocery store. Described in this report are resources that can prove useful for students, administrators, special education practitioners, and vocational rehabilitation counselors.
