Abstract
Graduating from high school is a pivotal milestone in a young person's life, symbolizing independence and the promise of future opportunities. However, for students with disabilities, this experience can differ significantly due to the unique challenges they face when transitioning into adulthood. A key component of their special education programming is preparing them for life beyond high school. However, challenges arise when special education teachers lack the knowledge or confidence to effectively write and implement a transition plan that addresses the individual needs of their students. This study explores the perspectives and experiences of special education team members regarding the implementation of a transition coordinator and its impact on special education programming.
