Beyond Graduation

Navigating Postsecondary Success for Students with Disabilities
Reframing postsecondary transition planning, this work exposes inequities that hinder students with disabilities, particularly those from marginalized backgrounds. It highlights the importance of early intervention, individualized goal-setting, inclusive curricula, and self-advocacy to empower lifelong independence.
Transition planning for students with disabilities is often treated as a procedural task rather than an opportunity to address systemic inequities. Beyond Graduation: Navigating Postsecondary Success for Students with Disabilities reframes postsecondary transition through a justice-centered framework that prioritizes equity, inclusion, and culturally responsive practices. The book examines the current state of transition planning, highlighting disparities in access, employment, and community integration for disabled students, particularly those from marginalized backgrounds. It advocates for early intervention, comprehensive assessments, and individualized goals aligned with each student's strengths and aspirations.

The book explores how race, disability, and socioeconomic status intersect to shape postsecondary experiences, emphasizing the need for equity-centered transition practices that address systemic biases in special education. It critiques traditional definitions of college readiness and advocates for inclusive curriculum design and equitable access to advanced coursework.

Strategies for fostering independence, financial literacy, and self-advocacy are outlined, along with practical recommendations for navigating postsecondary systems and digital spaces. The concluding chapter underscores the importance of accountability, systemic change, and justice-oriented planning that prepares all students to thrive beyond graduation. Designed for educators, practitioners, students, families, educators, and policymakers, this research bridges the gap between policy and practice, offering actionable solutions to empower students with disabilities to achieve success beyond the classroom and into adulthood.
