Transition from school to work at young people with disabilities

For young people with disabilities the transition from school to work is very challenging. Most of the developed countries are ensuring additional support for the transition of young people with disabilities from school to work. Among the different ways of delivering the support is the "Individual Transition Plan". In Romania there is no provision for building transition support (school - work). This study is reviewing literature for identifying gaps and is making suggestions for improvement in Romania. Main recommendations: Research and legislative changes are needed in Romania, to introduce transition support. (C) 2012 Published by Elsevier B. V.
