OSERS established the Transition Steering Committee to focus specifically on the services, needs, and outcomes of youth with disabilities who may benefit from the work conducted and services authorized by its program component offices. This committee , also known as “Transition Tigers ,” includes staff members from both OSERS program component offices—the Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) and the Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA)—as well as staff from the Office of the Assistant Secretary (OAS) , and the Office of Policy and Planning (OPP) .  \nOSERS provides funds to support transition services, transition programs , technical assistance projects, and research projects related to youth with disabilities. However, the committee found that program-specific data about OSERS transition work are not frequently summarized and not readily available to OSERS staff across its component offices and the general public, especially members of the transition community. To address this need, the committee developed the Transition Data Fact Sheet as a quick reference to inform OSERS staff and the transition community about critical data areas related to the transition of youth with disabilities from school activities to post-school activities. For the purposes of this document, “transition” is defined as the passage from  \nsecondary education to participating in postsecondary education, training or both, engaging in meaningful employment, living within one’s community, exercising self-determination, and contributing to society as productive citizens.  \nThe data in this fact sheet are presented for OSERS staff and others to use in their work and to draw their own conclusions from the data provided. The Transition Data Fact Sheet is intended to be a reference tool and should not be treated as a comprehensive document. It is organized into three areas of emphasis: 1) transition services;  \n2) post-school outcomes; and 3) OSERS investments in transition–related research, special education and VR services. It is important to note that most of the data and information presented are primarily specific to youth with disabilities between the ages of 14 and 24.  \nTRANSITION SERVICES  \nTHE INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIES EDUCATION ACT (IDEA) Secondary Transition Services  \n► The 2013 Child Count data reported by States under IDEA, Sec. 618 shows that 2,767,296 children (ages 12–17) and 356,228 children (ages 18–21) are served under IDEA Part B in the U.S. , outlying areas , and freely associated states.1  \n► The National Longitudinal Transition Study-2 (NLTS2)2 data shows that for students enrolled in secondary school during the 2001–02 school year, transition planning activities were conducted for 75 percent of students age 14 , 84 percent of students age 15 , 91 percent of students age 16 , 96 percent of students age 17 , and  \n96 percent of students age 18 , according to school staff completing the survey. Additional data from this survey and school year indicated:  \n􀂃 The most frequently identified transition planning contacts were made on behalf of students with disabilities to VR agencies (38 percent) followed by colleges (24 percent), postsecondary vocational schools (24 percent) , and job placement agencies (24 percent) . The fewest contacts (11 percent) were made to mental health agencies.  \n􀂃 Fifty-three percent of students received transition planning activities focused on securing competitive employment. Eight percent of students had a goal of supported employment and 5 percent had the goal of sheltered employment.  \n􀂃 Other common post-high school goals were to: secure independent living (50 percent), attend a two-or ","cbCaisNpxAdS5bJx","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisNpxAdS5bJx","pdf",549357,"English","# Transition Data Fact Sheet\n## Purpose and Definition of Transition\n## Transition Services\n## Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) Secondary Transition Services\n## Secondary School Programs\n## Post-School Outcomes\n## OSERS Investments in Transition-Related Research and Services","[{\"question\":\"What does OSERS use the Transition Data Fact Sheet for?\",\"answer\":\"It provides a quick reference for OSERS staff and the transition community to help them use and interpret transition-related data.
