Devlieger, Patrick J.; Trach, John S.
Exceptional Children, v65 n4 p507-23 Sum 1999
This study used ethnographic methodology to evaluate the impact of mediation on transition outcomes of six persons with mild mental retardation. Strategies used by focal persons, their parents, and agencies/schools are discussed in relation to (1) empowerment and self-determination, (2) social dimensions of transition planning and "balanced mediation," and (3) the Individualized Education Program as a planning tool.
