Re:  "...how teachers can help students participate in the transition
planning process. Since it all centers on students¹ vision of their future,
before the meeting they should be guided through a series of conversations
about post-school
outcomes, what they would like their life to look like once they leave high
school. These discussions should help them prepare to answer questions that
will arise in the meeting, such as in what setting and with whom they would
like to live, what they would like to do with their free time, how they
envision themselves participating in community life, the kind of job they
would like to have, whether they would like to continue their studies, and
about other similar long-term aspirations."

Arlyn, how would you help a student who wants to enter the military to
transition?  Are there specific requirements that LD students need to
consider (other than passing the physical)?  Does the military even accept
LD students?  Are there accommodations in the military?
