The National Longitudinal Transition Study-2 (NLTS2), was initiated in 2001 to provide a national picture of the characteristics and experiences of youth with disabilities, including their self-representations of themselves, their schooling, their personal relationships, and their hopes for the future. This book presents findings drawn from the first time data was collected directly from youth on these topics; they were ages 15 through 19 at the time (2003). The large majority of information reported comes from responses of youth with disabilities either to a telephone interview or to a self-administered mail survey, which contained a subset of key items from the telephone interview.
