DESCRIPTION:Childhood and adolescent disability have been largely overlook
 ed in social stratification and life course research. As a result\, we sti
 ll know very little surrounding well documented disability differentials i
 n educational and occupational attainment. This talk will examine educatio
 nal transitions of disabled young people in England\, drawing on data from
  Next Steps (formerly known as Longitudinal Study of Young People in Engla
 nd). We draw on social stratification literature on primary and secondary 
 effects as well as literature on health-related stigma in order to underst
 and mechanisms behind disabled young people’s educational progress and d
 ecisions at key stages of the English school system. Our results show that
  differentials in transitions rates to A Levels and university are largely
  the result of primary effects\, reflecting differences in school performa
 nce of disabled and non-disabled young people. However\, there is also evi
 dence for secondary effects\, demonstrating the parallels of disability wi
 th other inequalities. More specifically\, we find that similarly achievin
 g disabled young people are less likely to proceed to A Levels compared to
  their non-disabled counterparts. We seek to explain this by drawing on th
 e concept of health-related stigma\, and proceed to explore the extent to 
 which secondary effects can be explained by experiences of bullying and su
 ppressed educational expectations of disabled young people. \nSpeakers:\nD
