Most of the developed countries are ensuring additional support for the transition of young people with disabilities from school to work. Among the different ways of delivering the support is the "Individual Transition Plan". In Romania there is no provision for building transition support (school -work). This study is reviewing literature for identifying gaps and is making suggestions for improvement in Romania. Main recommendations: Research and legislative changes are needed in Romania, to introduce transition support.

This paper reflects on various materials gathered within a three years action-research project in which the authors are involved. More specifically we discuss results of photo analysis of everyday interactions with children and a self-assessment tool on professional practices of RODACIE staff. Both photos and self-assessment tools give practitioners the opportunity a) to reflect on their professional practices in relation to everyday interactions with children and b) to focus on their own practices in relation to different formal indicators of professional development through their own cognitive and emotional interpretation of practice. Main topics approached through crosscutting analysis of written, spoken and visual materials are the following: health and nutrition, care and development, planning and spontaneous, body and mind, autonomy and discipline, competition and cooperation etc.
