Abstract	After high school, the outcomes for youth with disabilities fail to keep up with their typically developing peers. Participation in post-secondary education, hourly earnings, and engagement in either education or employment up to six years after high school are all lower than the general population (Cameto et al., 2011). A researcher-developed online survey investigated the current strategies used with students with Specific Learning Disabilities (SLD). The questions focused on the development of skills necessary to meet post-secondary education, employment, and independent living goals. A directed content analysis did not reveal evidence that teachers are using the evidence-based practices described by the National Technical Assistance Center on Transition. The paper includes the practices of respondents. This research shows that there is a significant difference in the practices of teachers when it comes to students with SLD. These differences may contribute to decreased post-secondary engagement. There is also a lack of research and evidence-based practices for this population leading teachers to pull from unreliable sources or ignore the need for transition skills. (As Provided).
