This topic will explore the ways in which people with diverse learning needs, including a range of disabilities, may be supported in the transition from school to adult life. A major focus will be on promoting the self-determination of young people with disabilities and providing them with information and experiences that will enable them to identify pathways that allow them to achieve maximum independence in the community with regard to post-school activities and interests. Important areas covered will include pathways to post-secondary education, exploring employment options and experiences, and identifying leisure and recreational options that will promote maximum independence and community involvement.
