title: A rural-based transition model for students with learning disabilities: a demonstration.
abstract: This article presents a project that provides and coordinates transition services to high school students with learning disabilities. The Central Nebraska Goodwill Industries Transition Model is a four-phase process initiated during the freshman year of high school. Involvement begins with assessment and evaluation activities that culminate in the development of a transition planning component to the Individualized Education Plan. A variety of service providers offer assistance to satisfy identified transition needs. Unique features of this model include the development of a regional transition advisory council, personal growth groups for participants, and a private, nonprofit rehabilitation center as the coordinator of transition services.
