| Abstract | During the past quarter century, federal legislation has resulted in fundamental changes in the way youth with special needs are educated. Despite legal mandates and substantial funding support, only minimal progress has been made in the rate at which exceptional children progress through school to the world of work. During the past 30 years, federal and state governments have allocated billions of dollars to K-12 special education programs. Nonetheless, the post-high school and post-college outcomes strongly suggest that new strategies and tactics are needed to better focus collective efforts on the real prize--a job and meaningful community engagement for all young people with special needs who qualify. The author explains that a new standard of education for children with special needs must be recognized today. This standard includes an education that allows young adults with special health care needs to obtain the skills needed for employment and community engagement. Part of that education should include schools assuming new roles that result in placement and post school follow-up services to ensure that students find work and post secondary educational opportunities.
