Transition Innovations: Promising Vocational Rehabilitation Practices for Youth

Recent federal policy changes require state vocational rehabilitation (VR) agencies to expand service delivery to transition-age youth and young adults with disabilities. These expanded services intend to improve youth’s preparation for college and employment.

On Thursday, April 26, from noon to 1:30 p.m. ET, Mathematica’s Center for Studying Disability Policy will host a live webinar that will explore the impact of these new policy changes. The webinar will specifically highlight effective VR service practices and the challenges that state VR agencies face in adhering to new federal mandates related to transition-age youth.

The webinar will feature a panel of experts with extensive experience on issues related to transition, VR, and employment for people with disabilities. The panel will present and discuss the following:

• Effective VR practices identified by VR counselors from agencies with strong transition outcomes
• A case study on effective partnerships between VR and higher education programs for students with intellectual disabilities and autism
• Early implementation experiences of VR agencies with pre-employment transition services
