As organizações internacionais têm nos últimos anos dedicado uma especial atenção à passagem da escola para a vida ativa dos jovens com incapacidade que têm na base uma deficiência. A transição da escola para a vida adulta nem sempre é bem-sucedida. Em vez de encontrarem o suporte da escola, da família, da comunidade e dos serviços, muitas vezes, estes jovens, experienciam a falta de colaboração por parte do próprio sistema onde procuram o suporte para fazerem transições bem-sucedidas e se tornarem membros de uma comunidade adulta. O objetivo deste trabalho é contribuir para a visibilidade da problemática relativa à transição para a vida ativa através de um olhar à vida de cinco jovens que deixaram a escola há mais de dois anos, procurando saber quem são, onde estão, o que fazem no seu dia-a-dia e que oportunidades lhes foram dadas para se tornarem autossuficientes e contribuírem para a estabilidade financeira e cívica da comunidade. De seguida, através da promoção de uma conversa com elementos chave da comunidade, que representem serviços e instituições, debater diferentes perspetivas e ideias, no sentido de definir um plano de ação e de providenciar um conjunto de serviços e suportes que permitam a estes jovens alcançar os seus objetivos pós escolares.

The transition from school to adult life is not always successful. Instead of finding support from school, family, community and services, these young people often experience the lack of cooperation by the system which should provide support to make the disabled prone to successful transitions so as to become members of an adult community. The objective of this work is to contribute to the visibility of the issue concerning the transition to active life of five young people who left school for more than two years, getting to know who they are, where they are, what they do in their daily life and what sort of opportunities were given in order to become self sufficient and contribute to financial stability and civic community. Then, through the promotion of a conversation with relevant members of the community, representing services and institutions, we discussed different perspectives and ideas, in order to define a plan of action and provide a set of services and supports that will enable these young to achieve their goals after school.
