Facility-to-Community Transition Needs for Adjudicated Youth With Disabilities

As part of a statewide multiagency collaboration to provide transition services for adjudicated youth with disabilities in Oregon, we conducted a needs assessment to identify facility-to-community transition supports and barriers. We conducted a nominal group technique in five communities with groups composed of multiple stakeholders. In addition, we conducted qualitative in-depth interviews with 33 adjudicated youth in which they described their perceptions of barriers to and supports necessary for a successful transition from either a youth correctional facility or from probation. Findings suggest that transition services for adjudicated youth with disabilities need to focus on assisting youth to develop self-determination skills and nurturing positive social networks while providing traditional transition-related services (e.g., employment, education, and independent living support).
