Secondary Special Education & Transition
Project Description:
Secondary Special Education and Transition (SSET) is a multidisciplinary research unit dedicated to developing further scientific understanding of adolescents and young adults with disabilities and other high risk behaviors. Faculty within SSET conduct research, model development, and outreach activities to develop and implement research-based transition service that assist transition-age youth in developing knowledge and skills to succeed in fulfilling their desired adult roles, including meaningful employment, completion of postsecondary education or training programs, and living independently in the community. Our research is conducted in collaboration with schools, service agencies, parents, and youth.
