Abstract: Secondary level transition team members (administrators, special educators, and related service personnel) were surveyed regarding their perceptions of involvement by students with learning disabilities in transition planning and provision of services and activities that foster student involvement. Factor analysis of the 427 responses revealed that special educators differed from administrators and related service personnel in their perceptions of transition planning. Special educators perceived lower levels of student involvement and provision of fewer services and activities related to self-reliance than did the other two groups. Special educators also desired greater provision of services to foster career/vocational goals in transition planning than the other two groups. Team members from all three groups desired a greater degree of student involvement in transition planning and related services and activities than currently exists. Findings suggest that professionals perceive "best practices" as described in the transition literature to be desirable program elements for students with learning disabilities.
