Abstract
It’s been two decades since Kohler’s seminal work was conducted to link transition research to everyday practices. Her Taxonomy for Transition Programming has provided the framework to delivering scientifically-based education and services for transition-age youth with disabilities across the United States and countries around the world (Kohler, 1996).
