Examining Types of Goals Set by Transition-Age Students with Intellectual Disability
Burke, Kathryn M.; Shogren, Karrie A.; Carlson, Sarah
Career Development and Transition for Exceptional Individuals, v44 n3 p135-147 Aug 2021
Goal setting and attainment are critical skills for young people with disabilities as they plan for their postschool lives in areas such as employment, postsecondary education, and community life. This article presents an analysis of the types of goals set by transition-age students with intellectual disability over 3 years while supported by teachers to use an evidence-based practice to promote self-determination, the "Self-Determined Learning Model of Instruction" (SDLMI). Teachers implemented the SDLMI as part of a statewide effort to enhance the transition to integrated employment for students with intellectual disability exiting high school. Findings reflect students' desire to plan for multiple aspects of their lives in the adult world and the criticality of examining teacher expectations and how they relate to instruction and supports for students engaging in the goal-setting process. Limitations and implications for research and practice are discussed.
