educational consultant specializing in transition and inclusion, drpeglamb{at}yahoo.com

Postsecondary education enhances the ability of all students to become competitively employed and economically independent. The 2004 reauthorization of IDEA, titled the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act, includes a major policy change stating that a comprehensive evaluation is not required prior to graduation from high school but specifying a Summary of Performance that includes a synopsis of academic achievement, functional performance, and recommendations of supports necessary for attainment of postsecondary goals for a student.

In this article, the author discusses several of these questions and implications.
