Description

A brief, written for secondary and postsecondary educational administrators, state policymakers, rehabilitation counselors, and researchers, identifying the barriers to successfully managing supports for individuals with disabilities, and provides recommendations for overcoming these barriers. Current practices and policies, including differences between youth and adult service delivery systems and the lack of interagency collaboration, complicate service coordination for youth with disabilities. It seeks to answer the question, "How can service coordination become more flexible, youth-centered, and culturally responsive?"
