Abstract
Seriously emotionally handicapped adolescents face significant transition issues as they move through our system of care and attempt to assume adult role responsibilities in the community. Service delivery efforts must be sensitive to these issues and begin to realistically address the transition needs of this population. Nine integrative principles are discussed which appear essential when developing transition services.Keywords
