Research
has shown that all students and especially those receiving special education
who follow a carefully crafted transition plan are more likely to achieve
post-secondary success. Helping professionals can craft these plans, but many
may not be aware of the various resources available to ensure students’
successful transition. One of the main resources available to parents/guardians
and students are their classroom teachers. Teachers who incorporate
transition-related content into instruction using universal design for learning
(UDL) principles are in the best position to set up students for post-secondary
success. It is thus necessary that
parents/guardians and students are trained to inform teachers about UDL and
advocate for their use in classroom instruction on an ongoing basis.
