A curriculum motivating and guiding students with disabilities as they begin early transition planning for life after high school. It promotes positive attitudes, self-advocacy, and effective planning through its four components -- the videotape, discussion guide, student notebook, and family-teacher guide -- which may be used in home, school, and community settings. The videotape tells the inspiring stories of three students who overcame barriers to achieve their goals. Their stories of determination motivate other students to explore their own options, and the video discussion guide helps students and families begin to think about transition planning goals. The student notebook offers a step-by-step guide to transition planning, addressing legal rights, career exploration, self-advocacy, who to turn to for support, and much more. The family/teacher guide contains suggestions on how to work with students as they use the notebook. Developed by the Institute's National Center on Secondary Education and Transition, in collaboration with State of the Art, Inc.
