Answer preview
Transitioning from elementary into middle and high school into adulthood for these students can prove demanding because of the shifts in roles and expectations from individuals. It should be noted that these transitional needs are based on individual needs and vary from one person to the other. Those who should be collaborative in the transition include parents, students, school professionals, agencies, and administrators (Cheak‐Zamora et al., 2015).
