However, research has documented that youth with disabilities are less likely to transition into postsecondary education and employment. Congress requested that GAO provide information on (1) the proportion of IDEA students completing high school with a diploma or alternative credentials, and their postsecondary status; (2) the transition problems being reported and state and local actions to address them; and (3) the types of transition services provided by the vocational rehabilitation, the Workforce Investment Act youth, and the Ticket to Work and Self-Sufficiency programs, and the factors affecting participation of IDEA youth. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-773/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-773.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-773/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-773.pdf GAO-03-773 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-773 Other Written Product GAO-03-773; Special Education: Federal Actions Can Assist States in Improving Postsecondary Outcomes for Youth; Aid for the disabled Employment of the disabled Employment or training programs Federal aid to states Higher education Persons with disabilities Students
