Building Equity into Transition Practice and Service Delivery: A Call for Systemic Changes in the Field of Transition
Sinclair, James; Jez, Rebekka; Banks, Joy; Kucharczyk, Suzanne
Career Development and Transition for Exceptional Individuals, v46 n4 p223-236 Nov 2023
There is a common narrative in the field of transition: students with disabilities continue to experience poorer post-school outcomes compared with their peers without disabilities. After decades of research and practice, scholars and practitioners have impacted countless numbers of students. However, disparate outcomes for diverse youth still exist. The Division on Career Development and Transition takes the position that if we are to begin reducing persistent differential outcomes for diverse youth, we must examine our current practices and apply anti-oppressive practices to transition planning to ensure we do not continue to perpetuate White cultural norms and ableist approaches to transition. We applied four equity frameworks to transition planning and provided recommendations for transition practice and service delivery.
