[NPSO]: PACER Parent Brief on engaging families in PSO data collection

[Patti Zembrosky Barkin]

We would like to invite you to read and distribute a new NPSO/PACER document posted on our website <www.psocenter.org> Measuring Transition Success:  Focus on Youth & Family Participation was prepared by PACER Center in collaboration with the NPSO.  This document describes the importance of engaging families, youth, disability advocates and parent centers in the design of state post-school data collection systems. This will be distributed broadly to the Regional Parent Centers and state PTIs.  Please familiarize yourself with its contents and welcome the family perspective when developing your post-school outcome data systems. All of us at the National Post-School Outcomes Center want to thank our partners at the PACER Center for developing this very helpful Parent Brief. -- Patti Zembrosky Barkin Project Associate 1268 University of Oregon Eugene, OR 97403 phone: 541.346.0355 fax: 541.346.0322
