Transition to Adulthood for Students with Severe Intellectual Disabilities: Shifting toward Person-Family Interdependent Planning

Year: 2004

Type: article

Abstract: The transition from high school to adulthood is a major life change for most young adults and their families, and generally it is depicted as an especially stressful time for young people with disabilities and their families. Adequate planning is required to address the challenging impact of this stage of life on families. The purposes of this paper are to provide a general overview of person-centered planning and family-centered planning and to suggest merging these two approaches into person-family interdependent planning to better meet the needs of this challenging time.
