Abstract

The two publications reviewed here by Dan Steere complement each other well. In the first, Paul Wehman continues to show the direction for educators to follow by identifying the key elements of a successful transition from school to adult activities. Underlying this transition process is the need to support each individual's vision of the future with a support plan that adequately details the responsibilities of professionals, family members, the student, and members of the community. Then, Dale DiLeo provides a resource to assist us in one of the critical planning phases of this transition: Reach For A Dream represents the type of guide needed to operationally implement the recommendations in Wehman's book. More practitioner-based resources need to be developed that directly relate to the essential elements he describes in Life Beyond The Classroom.
