U.S. Department of Education (DOEd) Highlights Promising Practices for Basic Vocational Rehabilitation Agencies Helping Transition Age Youth.
The U.S. Department of Education's Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA) monitored 23 state vocational rehabilitation (VR) agencies funded under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended. These agencies, their stakeholders, and RSA identified promising practices that provide useful samples of programs and services that promote youth with disabilities transitioning from school to employment. One state agency recognized is the Rhode Island Office of Rehabilitation Services which is a partner in the Department of Labors systems change grant entitled Shared Youth Vision Federal Collaborative Partnership. The purpose of the Shared Youth Vision grant is to create state teams that will undertake strategic planning activities to develop a system that will improve services to youths by leveraging resources, aligning policy, and other activities.

This website compiles a list of other sites which have disability data readily accessible.
