Transition From High School

Youth with disabilities are less likely to enroll and complete postsecondary education than their nondisabled peers. Using a qualitative, cross-case design, we investigated the high school to college transition experiences of young adults diagnosed with Asperger syndrome (AS). Data sources included a family questionnaire, review of special education records, and multiple individual interviews ( N = 27) with young adults with AS, family members, teachers, and rehabilitation counselors. Social skills, communication, and executive functioning challenges in high school continued into postsecondary education settings. Across cases, five reoccurring themes seemed to influence the transition from high school to postsecondary education: (a) motivation to attend college, (b) high levels of disability awareness, (c) intentional family supports, (d) coordinated transition planning, and (e) clear postschool goals.

Long Time

The attitude towards people with disabilities has been a research topic for a long time. In Hungary a program called High 5! was developed in 2017 for primary and high school students with the aim to develop a positive attitude towards disability issues. Within the framework of the 2017 tender, a questionnaire survey was conducted with 26 candidate schools. Applicant students and mentors had to fill out an input and output questionnaire with the help of which we tried to draw conclusions about the success of the ‘High 5!’ program. The questionnaires were filled out by a total of 535 people, in a non-compliant ratio, so the results obtained were not valid. Nevertheless, we tried to draw statistical conclusions from the responses. Overall, it was found that the knowledge of the students participating in the program did not increase, but there was a positive tendency regarding the emotional aspect of their attitudes.

Sem Study

High school cosmetology students study the methods and effects of various human hair treatments, including permanents, straightening, conditioning, coloring and cutting. Although they are provided with textbook examples of overtreatment and numerous hair disorders and diseases, a view of an individual hair at the high resolution offered by an SEM provides convincing evidence of the hair‘s altered structure. Magnifications up to 2000X provide dramatic differences in perspective. A good quality classroom optical microscope can be very informative at lower resolutions.Students in a cosmetology class are initially split into two groups. One group is taught basic controls on the SEM (focus, magnification, brightness, contrast, specimen X, Y, and Z axis movements). A healthy, untreated piece of hair is initially examined on the SEM The second group cements a piece of their own hair on a stub. The samples are dryed quickly using heat or vacuum while the groups trade places and activities.
