This book examines The National Longitudinal Transition Study-2 (NLTS2) funded by the U.S. Department of Education, which provides a unique source of information to help in developing an understanding of the experiences of secondary school students with disabilities nationally as they go through their early adult years. NLTS2 addresses questions about youth with disabilities in transition by providing information over a 10-year period about a nationally representative sample of secondary school students with disabilities who were 13 to 16 years old and receiving special education services in grade 7 or above. Information about these former secondary school students is examined to describe the experiences of young adults with disabilities in the postsecondary education, employment, independence, and social domains in their first 6-8 years out of high school.
