Abstract

Economic participation is central to supporting people to meet socio-economic needs, maintain health and well-being, and civil and political participation. Transitioning out of high school can be a difficult experience for some but is crucial in ensuring future economic and community participation. In this chapter we report research co-produced between two academics and two young people with disability that sought to examine whether the COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on young people with disability transitioning from high school. Our research finds the post-high school transition processes for young people with disability were not well supported during the COVID-19 pandemic. This was no surprise to interviewees as schools often did not support these students well. We draw on the broader literature to make recommendations about what can be done differently to support young people more effectively as they transition from high school.
