Education for the Disabled Youth
During the collaboration meeting segment with my team members, we were able to table several issues that tend to affect the students with disabilities. One of the primary concerns was the right to education. Previously the youth born with various disabilities did not receive a quality education, and for those who are privileged to go to school, the education that they reviewed was of low standards; thus, they did not graduate to other higher or advanced levels of education such as post-secondary education. We were able to discuss the various strategies and measures which are needed to be put in place so as to address the issue of education for the children and youth born with various disabilities issues. Nevertheless, the program is designed to ensure that people are not only provided with a basic education but also they are subjected to equal employment opportunities (Fullan, 2017). Providing employment opportunities to such individuals will help eradicate the issue of over-dependency on their family members and the entire state at large. Employment will help the disabled to earn their respective incomes, and thus they can meet their day to day requirements. The program thus aims at transforming the lives of students with disabilities right from high school to adult life. Various students have various strengths in different fields of operation; thus, the program aims at nurturing the skills and competence that various disabled youths have in order to prepare them for a greater tomorrow.
The teachers’ feedback showed confusion regarding the positions of partners in change preparation. We agree the partnership among school staff and organizations is inadequate. Instructors and parents claimed that in transfer meetings, there is little presence and planned accountability of organizations. In conjunction with education, interdepartmental cooperation will enhance students ' conscience-determination abilities, student engagement at the school level, and IEP committee sessions, contributing to better results at school and post-school level. Teachers and parents stressed the importance of career training for children with disorders in transfer preparation
There were to the main area of need addressed. They include the level of participation and agency assessment. There was no signature for the applicant in the segment on participation steps, and there was no amount of attendance. The survey questions for the department were incomplete, so there was no structured or informal examination of vocation. The bulk of ARD sessions were not attended by guardians.
The following steps will be taken to ensure continuity in program evaluation.
· Follow up after the transition
· Administrative support for transition
· Incorporating the use of a variety of funding sources
· Conducting agency meetings with both the family and the students
· Ensure proper training of both the families and students.
