Youth who are coming of age right now are the first generation to receive educational services throughout childhood and adolescence. Disability policies have opened up opportunities to youth, and they have responded by getting higher levels of education than ever before. Yet many youth are being left behind, compared to their peers without disabilities. Youth with disabilities often still face major obstacles to independence. In Their Time Has Come, Valerie Leiter argues that there are crucial missing links between federal disability policies and the lives of young people. Youth and their parents struggle to gather information about the resources that disability policies have created, and youth are not typically prepared to use their disability rights effectively. Her argument is based on thorough examination of federal disability policy and interviews with young people with disabilities, their parents, and rehabilitation professionals. Attention is given to the diversity of expectations, the resources available to them, and the impact of federal policy and public and private attitudes on their transition to adulthood. 410 0$aRutgers series in childhood studies. 606 $aYouth with disabilities$xServices for 606 $aYoung adults with disabilities$xEducation 606 $aYoung adults with disabilities$xEmployment 610 $aDisability policy gaps. 615 0$aYouth with disabilities$xServices for. 615 0$aYoung adults with disabilities$xEducation. 615 0$aYoung adults with disabilities$xEmployment. 676 $a362.4 700 $aLeiter$b Valerie$f1965-$01713703 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910809017503321 996 $aTheir time has come$94106883 997 $aUNINA
