Abstract

Survey data were gathered from 1,450 school districts to determine the extent to which vocational and transition-oriented services were available to secondary-age special education students. Extensive variation between districts was found in the types of students served and in the configuration of agencies serving them. Most districts reported cooperating with other districts or agencies to find appropriate instructional settings and related services. District size was strongly related to number and variety of services, with larger districts providing more services to more secondary special education students with a wider range of disabilities compared to smaller districts. In most districts, vocational training was available and accessed by special education students, but special transition-oriented arrangements, such as assisting special education students to find jobs, were less evident.
