ProQuest LLC, Ph.D. Dissertation, Texas A&M University
Postsecondary transition planning is a legally-mandated service provided to special education students within the United States. Previous research has identified this process as one of many factors that can contribute to a successful postsecondary transition in various life areas for these individuals. An interdisciplinary transition team, formed of the student, parent(s), school personnel, and other professionals, must work collaboratively to identify, evaluate, and change these services as necessary to meet the student's postsecondary goals. Licensed Specialists in School Psychology, or LSSPs, are one such team member that is on the transition team. LSSPs are uniquely trained to provide services to students, families, and other personnel in various areas, including consultation, psychological and psycho-educational assessment, direct services, and program planning and evaluation within the school setting. Although LSSP involvement has been considered to be important by other transitional team members, previous research has identified several barriers that prevent increased LSSP involvement in this process. This kind of research has not been studied much within the southern United States. The purpose of this study was to add to the current literature of LSSP involvement within the postsecondary transition planning process. An online survey modified by this current researcher, with authors' permissions, was disseminated to LSSPs and other transition team members within Texas school districts. Findings from this current study are largely aligned with previous research regarding the gap between the frequency and importance of LSSP involvement, as well as shared identified barriers to LSSP involvement. Recommendations for addressing barriers to LSSP involvement are included. [The dissertation citations contained here are published with the permission of ProQuest LLC.
