Book Introduction:
Transitional education and services is an educational practice that has gradually developed from vocational education and career education. Its purpose is to help students with disabilities smoothly transition from high school graduation to higher education, employment, vocational training, adult education, and independent adult life. In other words, school education must plan the current curriculum and learning activities with the students' next stage goals in mind.
Transitional education must begin in early childhood, with high school being a crucial period. It is an integrated educational approach that comprehensively plans for each student's transitional needs through a transitional program, connecting this to the service provision of schools or social welfare organizations at the next stage. The "evidence-based teaching" and "evidence-based predictive indicators" used in high school transition programs facilitate practical operations for schools and educational administrators, enabling students with disabilities to successfully transition to the next stage of their lives after graduating from high school.
