Abstract

In this article the author outlines the findings of a case study investigating the issue of transition from a mainstream second level school to post-school options for students with a diagnosed special educational need (SEN). The author uses interviews and a small scale telephone follow-up study to track the outcomes and to gain an insight into the reality of transition for the entire cohort of forty-four students with SEN who left the school in the period from 2004 to 2008.
