Transitions are, historically, quite difficult for children and youths with learning disabilities. Your child is entering a major life transition as he departs the relative "cocoon" of high school and enters the world of work or a post-secondary placement. This is not the end of a journey; it is the beginning of a new one. This extraordinary book of essays is designed to guide you on this voyage.
