Fifth Prism Book Now Available

The Board of Directors of the Division on Developmental Disabilities of the Council for Exceptional Children is pleased to announce that the fifth volume in the Prism series is now available.  This fifth volume in the Prism series, entitled Transition of Youth with Disabilities to Postsecondary Education , is edited by Robert A. Stodden and Stanley H. Zucker.

This latest book in the Prism series presents an organized collection of peer-reviewed articles focusing upon young people with intellectual disability as they prepare for and transition to postsecondary education and other life-long learning activities.

The overall intent is to provide the reader with a clear picture of the current status of diverse approaches that seek to prepare and transition youth with intellectual disabilities for postsecondary education settings. The articles have been organized to (a) provide the reader with an overview of postsecondary issues, (b) present a range of approaches and models currently being used by persons in the field, and (c) share current status data on contemporary service delivery programs and their impact upon the quality of post-school life for young persons with intellectual disabilities.

The Prism series is intended to provide practical and issues-oriented information related to serving children and youth with mental retardation/cognitive impairment, autism, and associated developmental disabilities. Each of the five volumes in the Prism series (Publications) is also available for purchase through the CEC catalog (http://www.cec.sped.org/bk/catalog2/index.html).
