Abstract This research examined the conditions and factors affecting transition services for students with intellectual disabilities (ID) in Taiwan using the Transition-Service Planning Assessment Scales for Students with Intellectual Disabilities (TPAS). The results indicated that the need for transition services to post secondary school ranked highest, whereas transitions related to medical services ranked lowest. The severity of the students’ ID and grade level correlated most significantly with the need for transition services. Further, students with mild ID and those in families with higher socioeconomic status received better transition services. Recommendations are made for school policy, transition practices, and further research. download article >>
