Transition From School To Adult Services in
Prader-Willi Syndrome: What Parents Need to Know
by Julie A. Seguin, M.S., CRC, Robert M. Hodapp, Ph.D.; UCLA Graduate School of Education
& Information Studies Los Angeles, CA.Transitions are changes from one activity to
another, from one relationship to another, or from one setting to another. In this
booklet, we address the transition from school to adult services for students with
disabilities, with special attention to young adults with Prader-Willi syndrome. For
the most part, we focus on the transitions of young adults who are receiving educational
services in a special education setting, whether that setting is a special school, special
education class, or mainstreamed class.
This booklet helps you understand what transition is, who provides services, and what
you as a parent will need to do. After Chapter 1 presents a basic overview, in
separate chapters we discuss work (Chapter 2) and residential (Chapter 3) issues. In
Chapter 4, we describe how the transition from child to adult services is complicated when
the young adult has Prader-Willi syndrome. We end this booklet by discussing some
remaining issues and problems. The booklet also features several appendices about
contracts and practices in each of the 50 states, as well as a glossary of terms (terms
appearing in the glossary are noted in bold type throughout this booklet)
