Center Overview

The purpose of this project is to help states meet evaluation targets for transition planning and postschool outcomes and build capacity to support and improve transition planning, services, and outcomes for youth with disabilities. The Center is charged with assisting SEAs and LEAs in collecting data on SPP Indicator 13 and using these data to improve transition services. To accomplish this, NSTTAC will disseminate information and provide technical assistance on evidence and research based practices, with an emphasis on building and sustaining state-level infrastructures of support and building district-level demonstrations of effective transition methods for youth with disabilities. The NSTTAC will also provide efficient and effective large-scale implementation and sustainability of research-based secondary transition interventions and models.

Methods

To accomplish its objectives, NSTTAC will develop and disseminate procedures for collecting data on Indicator 13 of the State Performance Plans. In addition, Expert Panels on Identifying Evidence and Research Based Transition Practices, Enhancing States' Capacity, and Dissemination and Outreach will be established. By including both consumers (i.e., parents, students, teachers and administrators) and content experts on each panel, NSTTAC will build effective, efficient, and sustainable research-based interventions and models that improve outcomes of youth with disabilities. Finally, NSTTAC will work closely with the National Postschool Outcomes Center, the National Dropout Prevention Center, the Regional Resource Centers, NASDSE, and Parent Training and Information Centers, as well as others to accomplish its objectives.
