abstract: 'Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the experiences of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
youth with physical disabilities and clinicians who support them in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
their transition to post-secondary education (PSE). Most research on
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
transition to PSE has focused on youth with intellectual disabilities
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
while there is a lack of research on youth with physical disabilities.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Methods: This study drew on 30 interviews with 20 youth with
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
disabilities and 10 clinicians. We used Bronfrenbrenner''s ecological
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
framework to inform our analysis.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Results: Our results showed that there are several important individual
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
skills that youth need to be successful in transitioning to PSE. Youth
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
with disabilities experienced supports from peers and family that
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
influence their transition to PSE. Several disability-specific issues
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(e.g., coping, self-care, disclosure, and accommodations) were often a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
barrier to transitioning to PSE. Clinicians and youth both reported that
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
improved inter-professional collaboration and inter-agency partnerships
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
were needed to enhance the transition experience. Societal attitudes
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(stigma and discrimination), policies, and the timing of transitions
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
also influence youth''s transition.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Conclusion: Applying an ecological approach helped to provide a more
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
holistic perspective of the PSE transitions and emphasizes the need to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
consider more than just preparing individuals but also where they are
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
transitioned.'
