Little is known about the effectiveness and the management of some of these programs. GAO was asked to review four of these programs; the Department of Education (Education) oversees three--Projects with Industry (PWI), Supported Employment State Grants, and Randolph-Sheppard. An independent federal agency, the Committee for Purchase, oversees the fourth, Javits-Wagner-O'Day (JWOD). Specifically, GAO assessed the extent to which (1) performance goals and measures have been established for these programs and (2) the agencies responsible have established adequate oversight procedures. We reviewed program planning and performance information, interviewed agency officials, and visited each of the four programs in four states. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-236/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-236.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-236/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-236.pdf GAO-07-236 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-236 Other Written Product GAO-07-236; Federal Disability Assistance: Stronger Federal Oversight Could Help Assure Multiple Programs' Accountability; Aid for the disabled Disabilities Education program evaluation Educational grants Employment assistance programs Employment of the disabled Federal aid to states Federal procurement Federal/state relations Licenses Performance measures Persons with disabilities Program management State-administered programs Government agency oversight Program goals or objectives Javits-Wagner-O'Day Program Projects with Industry Program Randolph-Sheppard Vending Facility Program Volume 49 Page 1559 49 Stat. 1559 Volume 52 Page 1196 52 Stat. 1196
