This article presents a review of the current literature on life skills curricula and instruction as they relate to students with learning disabilities. The review of life skills literature is organized into two sections: intervention and follow-up, follow-along studies. Based on the available research, several suggestions for designing research programs that address life skills curricula and instruction for students with learning disabilities are outlined.
This article synthesizes descriptions of and recommendations for community transition teams found in research articles, model project reports, and state department documents. The levels, composition, and functions of transition teams are described. Community-level transition teams are shown to be critical support vehicles for helping communities improve their transition programs for youth and adults with learning or other disabilities. Highlights of the changes generated by community teams illustrate their potential impact; the experiences of team members illustrate the challenges to which future efforts need to respond.
Transition services for students with learning disabilities have not always been a priority in public schools. Although school personnel have long acknowledged the transition needs of students considered to have more severe disabilities, such as mental retardation, physical problems, and emotional disturbance, they do not always consider that students with learning disabilities also need transition programming. The result has been a neglect of these students' transition needs, which has likely contributed to some of the problems experienced by young adults with learning disabilities. This article focuses on the effect of educational reform on transition services for students with learning disabilities. General education reform--fueled by some of the critical reports of the 1980s--inclusion, and some of the more recent efforts to reform public education (namely, Goals 2000) are all discussed as they relate to the transition needs of students with learning disabilities.
