disabilities plan the future they want, pursue employment and/or higher
education, and navigate the complex shift to adult life in the
community. Renowned expert Paul Wehman and a select group of

planning, offering fast facts, vivid examples, realistic case studies,
and checklists and tools for putting your plan into action.
Expanded and updated with the very latest on new legislation, funding
