Thanks for info. I was wondering if you could answer a question. I have a paper to submit for publication that talks about how 2 state associations of private approved nonpublic schools serving students with disabilites combined resources to launch a postschool outcomes study. Each association had previous conducted independent studies and that manuscript does present this data. However, it is not intended to be a data-based paper, but rather one to speak of the collaboration. Any suggestions of a journal, perhaps a special ed policy journal, that might be interested? Thanks so much. Dr. Millicent Kellner, NJ

REFERENCE POINTS: New Resource: Helping Families Transition to the Future Available at: html http://www.pacer.org/tatra/RSA/page1.htm and PDF formats http://www.pacer.org/tatra/RSA/RSA.pdf This publication summarizes the work of seven Parent Information and Training Programs funded by the U.S. Department of Education Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA) to "provide training and information to enable individuals with disabilities, and the parents, family members, guardians, advocates, or other authorized representatives of the individuals to participate more effectively with professionals in meeting the vocational, independent living, and rehabilitation needs of individuals with disabilities (Rehabilitation Act, 1998)." The data presented here provides policy-makers, administrators, and advocates with a clear picture of who is being served by RSA PARENT INFORMATION AND TRAINING PROGRAMS, and the ways in which program activities influence meaningful outcomes for individuals with disabilities and their families. Data was collected from seven RSA funded Parent Information and Training Programs serving 10 states: California, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Mich! igan, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Wisconsin, and Washington, and then compiled by the Technical Assistance on Transition and the Rehabilitation Act (TATRA) Project, also funded by RSA.. It represents program outcomes for activities conducted over a 12-month period in 2005 and 2006.
