Product Description:

Partial Abstract: We conducted semi-structured interviews with family members of 45 young adults with significant intellectual disabilities who were enrolled in or had graduated from transition-focused programs designed for students ages 18-21. We examined the types of community and social activities in which the young adults engaged. We also explored the resources and supports they used to enable participation in the community, and other activities or resources they desired.
