abstract: 'Background The use of effective theory and practice in school-to-work

  transition for adolescents with intellectual disability (ID) is

  essential to enhance transition outcomes. In China, little attention has

  been paid to these issues. The current study explored Chinese parents''

  and transition teachers'' views on school-to-work transition services for

  adolescents with ID.

  Method Fourteen transition teachers and 14 parents across 7 cities in

  China were interviewed, and the interview data were thematically

  analysed.

  Results The results suggest that the chief reasons for poor transition

  outcomes in China include social bias toward and limited employability

  of adolescents with ID, lack of quality transition programs, and

  insufficient policy and financial support.

  Conclusions It is recommended that the Chinese government, employers,

  transition institutions, and families make changes to address the

  underachievement of postsecondary transition outcomes.'
