Abstract
This project is an evaluation of the effectiveness of a transition curriculum model, developed and implemented in 2005, in providing youth with disabilities the skills and strategies needed for a successful transition to adulthood. Self-reported data were obtained from 11 former students of the classes with regard to a) their opinions on the degree of usefulness of the curriculum and b) their current status in employment, education, and community integration. Employment instruction was reported as being one of the most helpful areas of the curriculum and independent living as one of the least helpful. Findings also indicate that 73% of the respondents had been employed in the last two years, and 36% were currently employed. Only 18% had enrolled in any postsecondary education, and none were currently enrolled.
