| Abstract: | Transition planning is a critical component of preparing transition-aged youth with disabilities to plan for and attain their postsecondary goals. Under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act of 2004 (2004)), a key component of transition planning is identifying and implementing transition services. Knowing how transition services are identified and selected by transition-aged youth with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities (IDD), their parents, and their special educators is essential for a holistic understanding of transition planning. To this end, we systematically reviewed the literature about the involvement of transition-aged youth with IDD, parents of youth with IDD, and special educators in transition planning. We identified 16 studies which varied in methodology and types of participants. Across the studies, there was an absence of parent and youth involvement in identifying and selecting transition services. Implications for research and practice are discussed. |
