Rosemary Lawn, Managing Director of a Perth supported employment agency, discusses effective school to work transition for people who have high support needs. She presents thoughts by Barbara Wilcox, an American professor who visited Western Australia to help people really look at the issue of transition. Her emphasis was on inclusive education which needs to be community based and futures referenced. The model Wilcox uses is that of samples, select and place, which should start from the first years of high school. Lawn also believes that parents are essential to the role of ensuring effective school to work transition. Keyword: Transition
