This article presents information on the post school results of 720 former students who had received special education services. The results focused on employment, postsecondary education, and community living outcomes of former students and identified program components (including transition planning) that contribute to success, including work experiences, occupational education, and mainstreamed academics. Implications for policy deliberations and school practices are discussed.
