Financial Literacy: Annotated Bibliography

When students graduate from high school they often experience independence that includes (a) moving out on their own, (b) forming new relationships, and (c) supporting themselves financially. However, according to data from the National Longitudinal Transition Survey--2, only 38% of youth with disabilities have lived independently outside the family home within 3 to 5 years of exiting high school. One key aspect of independence is having finance skills. This is an area that youth with disabilities are struggling with. Without the ability to control their finances, these individuals may lack the autonomy to make key decisions about their lives. Financial literacy skills are essential to independent living including paying bills, grocery shopping, managing a budget, and participating in leisure activities. The purpose of this annotated bibliography is to provide resources for individuals, educators, families, and other related personnel in the area of financial literacy.
