Transforming Transition: Next Stages for the School-to-Work Transition Movement.

Siegel, Shepherd; Sleeter, Christine E.

Career Development for Exceptional Individuals, v14 n1 p27-41 Spr 1991

It proposes a model of education for the empowerment of full citizenship in which persons with disabilities are seen as one of many groups disadvantaged by current social prejudice and exclusion.
