An analysis of transition plans for students with disabilities was conducted across 24 school divisions in Virginia. Eighty-four public school students, ages 14 to 21, with significant disabilities, comprised the sample. The results indicate that for a majority of students with significant disabilities there is a need for greater participation in the planning of their future, increased opportunities to access employment prior to exiting school, and access to a range of services to provide ongoing and long-term support in the community.
