  • Summary

    More than 67% of current high school completers attend some form of higher education, with the current college population reflecting increased diversity, with greater numbers of first-generation college students and individuals with handicapping conditions. Although transitions are for the most part positive in the emerging adult population, they also bring opportunities and challenges. Identity consolidation, striving for independence, leaving home, self-advocacy, and the ability to engage in prosocial coping become significant issues. The school psychologist can be a vital facilitator in preparing students for this critical transition and building the foundation for successful adulthood for all students, but particularly those with special needs.
