Research-In-Progress Abstract

"The provision of education services and experiences that promote positive post-school outcomes for urban youth with disabilities: To what extent is it happening?"

The purpose of  this Research-in-Progress Presentation is to discuss the findings from an investigation that examines the reach of evidence-based predictors for improving postschool outcomes for urban youth with disabilities in the areas of education, employment, and/or independent living. Results of this work point to significant  gaps in the provision of services and experiences that are associated with improved  outcomes for youth with disabilities. Limitations and implications for future practice and research will be described and discussed with a particular focus culturally and linguistically diverse youth.
