The SRI data presented here are based on the 1990-91 school year, prior to the implementation of the State System for Transition Services Program which currently supports 30 projects. The intent of the State projects is to improve access to necessary transition services for all youth with disabilities by facilitating interagency cooperation. Together with the model demonstration projects support under the Secondary Education and Transitional Serives for Youth with Disabilities Program, more school districts are implementing exemplary transition services which will improve student outcomes. Program Administration Awards are authorized to institutions of higher education, State education agencies, local education agencies, and other appropriate public and private nonprofit institutions and agencies. Twenty-seven projects, primarily demonstrations, were funded in FY 1993.
New projects focus on dropouts, self-determination, and special programs.
A continuation grant was awarded to the Institute on Intervention Effectiveness, that focuses on the applied problems of youth in transition from high school to post secondary education, employment, adult and community living, and social integration. Six five-year cooperative agreements were funded under the State System for Transition Services for Youth with Disabilities. Planned Studies None.
