elf-advocacy should also be taught to familiarize students with how to articula
te their needs and request accommodations at a college or workplace. This process has been greatly
facilitated by individualized education programs (IEPs), which have measurable goals, supports, and
services that go beyond academic
s, but are ones that target long-term independence and employability (Heward, 2013). With such aids,
the student with dyslexia can better look to his future after high school.
The students with emotional and behavioral difficulties (EBD) must receive extensive transition support
s that will respond to their academic and social-emotional needs. Mental health care is important in the
transition because these students often leave school, get no employment, and cannot have a
stable relationship. Training also addresses self-regulation, conflict management, and job preparation so
that the students are ready to deal with the real world of adult life. The behavior
intervention strategies must also be planned based on what helps one develop skills that help him or
her become independent and strong.
