Abstract
Typically, students with disabilities have a transition plan written at age 14, which includes a postsecondary goal. As a member of the transition team, the vocational rehabilitation (VR) counselor provides input on services for students to improve potentially outcomes in adulthood. This chapter underscores that many students in rural areas face the same types of barriers as adults with disabilities in the areas of employment, access to services, and long-term outcomes. The chapter examines interprofessional policy and practices that may influence how students with disabilities in rural settings experience social, economic, and adult transitions.
