Genesis of the Symposium
• AUCD Board of Directors wanted to select one issue and use the breadth and depth of the network to create a national focus on that issue.
• Interdisciplinary Practice is one of the foundation concepts of the AUCD network.
• After significant discussion, the Board focused on applying the concepts of interdisciplinary, interagency collaboration to transition
![Page 7: Interdisciplinary, Interagency Collaboration for Transition From Adolescence to Adulthood](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e215503460f94b0ce41/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The Issue
Youth with IDD should be able to expect self-determined transitions with coordinated support from family, community, professionals, and agencies.
But they and their families often experience very little coordination and collaboration from the myriad of systems involved in the transition process
![Page 8: Interdisciplinary, Interagency Collaboration for Transition From Adolescence to Adulthood](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e215503460f94b0ce41/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Why
Failure to support self-determination as a central element of the person-centered
process of transition
![Page 9: Interdisciplinary, Interagency Collaboration for Transition From Adolescence to Adulthood](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e215503460f94b0ce41/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Why
Insufficient understanding of the role of culture in an individual or family’s
concept or approach to transition
![Page 10: Interdisciplinary, Interagency Collaboration for Transition From Adolescence to Adulthood](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e215503460f94b0ce41/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Why
The tendency for professionals within each realm of transition (education, health,
community living, employment, and others) to use language that is not easily
understood by other professionals, youth with IDD, families, or other community
partners
![Page 11: Interdisciplinary, Interagency Collaboration for Transition From Adolescence to Adulthood](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e215503460f94b0ce41/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Why
Neglecting to specifically explore how transition in the different realms
could/should be linked for maximizing success

“I would like to live with my aunt who has provided me with the care that no one else has been able to do. I plan to find a part-time paying job. I would like to spend the rest of my days going to the gym to keep up my health, doing recreational activities in the community and being part of my social community. I can only do these things if I have wheelchair transportation, a job coach and a nurse to meet my medical needs.” Quote from a letter from a youth with IDD to an
agency administrator
![Page 17: Interdisciplinary, Interagency Collaboration for Transition From Adolescence to Adulthood](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e215503460f94b0ce41/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
“I expected assistance in planning ways that my daughter could function with support in various adult roles….I expected that the various entities that were involved with her support…would collaborate together to design supports that would help her reach her unique adult goals. I expected to have good, complete and understandable information….I expected that supports would be available in her own community in places of her choosing…. What I needed most was a guide.”
Quote from a mother
![Page 18: Interdisciplinary, Interagency Collaboration for Transition From Adolescence to Adulthood](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e215503460f94b0ce41/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
“Families want information and planning processes that are clear, simple and individualized. Families and individuals want choice and control – their own voices primary in design of services – rather than decisions made arbitrarily by others….. want what any family wants for their young adult…. looking for the ways and means….”
Quote from a community supports navigator

Transition RequiresInteragency Collaboration
IDEA of 2004 requires schools to coordinate with other service systems (i.e. VR, DD):
• IEP must include AATA, measurable postsecondary goals, projected date for services (i.e. travel training, work experience)
• If participating agencies fail to provide transition services, LEA shall reconvene the IEP team to identify strategies to meet the transition objectives
(IDEA of 2004, (D)(1 - 6)
![Page 46: Interdisciplinary, Interagency Collaboration for Transition From Adolescence to Adulthood](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e215503460f94b0ce41/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)

Teach SD Transition Planning*
The Model has 3 phases & supports AATA
Phase 1. What is my goal?What career do I want?
Phase 2. What is my plan?What action can I do today to prepare for
chosen career?
Phase 3. What have I learned?Revise goals & plans, as needed
Model Developed by M. Wehmeyer & Palmer, 2003
![Page 50: Interdisciplinary, Interagency Collaboration for Transition From Adolescence to Adulthood](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e215503460f94b0ce41/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)

Age Appropriate Transition Assessment
• Interdisciplinary IEP teams use AATA to:– Develop realistic and meaningful goals– Provide information for present levels of academic
achievement and functional performance– Learn about the individual student, his/her strengths,
needs, interests, preferences (SPIN)– Connect IEP with future plans– Inform the Summary of Performance
![Page 51: Interdisciplinary, Interagency Collaboration for Transition From Adolescence to Adulthood](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e215503460f94b0ce41/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Curriculum-based AATA
• Begins in the classroom
• Facilitated by special, general & CTE teachers
• Integrate AATA into core courses - ELA
• Examples:– Self-determination assessments/curricula– EnvisionIT 21st century curriculum
![Page 52: Interdisciplinary, Interagency Collaboration for Transition From Adolescence to Adulthood](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e215503460f94b0ce41/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)

21st Century Curricula
EnvisionIT teaches students:• Common Core Standards (CCS)
• Information Tech Literacy
• How to build a self-directed Transition Portfolio by matching their interests,
abilities, and personality to career goals. Izzo, M.V., Yurick, A, Nagaraja, H.N. & Novak, J.A. (2010). Effects of a 21st century

CCS and Transition Planning
EnvisionIT ActivitiesStudents develop and present their assessment results
and transition plans Students write an essay to describe their Princeton
Review, personality and VARK assessment results
Common Core Standards (CCS)• Writing Strand 4 Produce clear and coherent writing
in which the development, organization, and style are appropriate to task, purpose, and audience.
• Speaking and Listening Strand 2 & 5 Integrate multiple sources of information presented in diverse formats and media.

Recommendations
• Plan self-directed PCP meetings (IEP, IPE, ISP) that include college and career goals
• Raise expectations of service providers & parents through cross-agency trainings
• Coordinate variety of work experiences from age 14 (or earlier) until paid employment is achieved

IDEA Transition Planning
The IEP must include for each student beginning at age 16 (or younger, if determined appropriate by the IEP team) a statement of needed transition services for the student, including, if appropriate a statement of interagency responsibilities or any needed linkages.– 34 CFR 300.347(b)(2)
![Page 86: Interdisciplinary, Interagency Collaboration for Transition From Adolescence to Adulthood](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e215503460f94b0ce41/html5/thumbnails/86.jpg)
Transition Barriers for Students and Families
• Accessing needed services • Navigating adult services• No coordination amongst multiple
agencies • Lack of sufficient information/awareness • Insufficient preparation of students for
work
US Government Accountability Office (2012), Better federal coordination could lessen challenges in the transition from high school

Interagency Teams
Three groups typically served by interagency teams that vary by setting, roles and responsibilities
– (State level agencies) Developing cross-agency policies to facilitate transition
– (Regional/local district personnel)Developing procedures and guidelines at district level
– (Individual level) Working with individual students at IEP meeting or other interagency meetings

The CA Postsecondary Education Interagency
Workgroup
The Tarjan Center, a University Center for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities established a workgroup consisting of public agencies representing rehabilitation, developmental disabilities services, education, and community colleges in partnership with the State Council on Developmental Disabilities and the California Health Incentives Improvement Project to address needed changes to improve access and participation in postsecondary education.

How We Created an Engaged and Committed
Group • Developed relationships, mutual understanding
and trust among diverse partners;• Assessed the environment for change;• Attended to the priorities and context under which
each agency operated• Identified assets and barriers and developed an
actionable plan for our work• Affirmed individual and agency’s commitment to
improve outcomes for youth with developmental disabilities
• Built a sense of purpose, hopefulness and commitment to the work
![Page 91: Interdisciplinary, Interagency Collaboration for Transition From Adolescence to Adulthood](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e215503460f94b0ce41/html5/thumbnails/91.jpg)
Step 1: Map Each Agency’s Initiatives that Support Students with ID and ASD
Raynor, O., Campisi, C & Francis, W. (2012), Pathways to PSE for Students with ID & Autism
![Page 92: Interdisciplinary, Interagency Collaboration for Transition From Adolescence to Adulthood](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e215503460f94b0ce41/html5/thumbnails/92.jpg)
Raynor et al., 2012
![Page 93: Interdisciplinary, Interagency Collaboration for Transition From Adolescence to Adulthood](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e215503460f94b0ce41/html5/thumbnails/93.jpg)
![Page 94: Interdisciplinary, Interagency Collaboration for Transition From Adolescence to Adulthood](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e215503460f94b0ce41/html5/thumbnails/94.jpg)
Step 2: Create an Interagency Matrix
( Raynor et al, 2012)
![Page 95: Interdisciplinary, Interagency Collaboration for Transition From Adolescence to Adulthood](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e215503460f94b0ce41/html5/thumbnails/95.jpg)
Step 3: Utilize Case Studies to Identify Supports, Strengths & Gaps
• Identified key issues and unmet needs• Services each agency provided in response
to student needs• Regulations policies or local practices that
created available services, prevented them from being provided or could have been employed but were not
• Who else needed to be involved?• If the system worked well, what would have
happened?
![Page 96: Interdisciplinary, Interagency Collaboration for Transition From Adolescence to Adulthood](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e215503460f94b0ce41/html5/thumbnails/96.jpg)
Example: Reflection Discussions
• What are you pleased to see? What is most surprising? What is concerning to you?
• What else is possible? For your agency? For collaboration between agencies? What is the collective meaning of this work for students with intellectual disabilities or autism?
• What needs to happen with this information? What does this mean for this group
• What needs to happen next? Who else needs to be involved? How?
![Page 97: Interdisciplinary, Interagency Collaboration for Transition From Adolescence to Adulthood](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e215503460f94b0ce41/html5/thumbnails/97.jpg)
Step 4: Deepen the Learning of Each Agency About One Another
• What are the top 3 priorities of your agency? What receives the most attention, resources, etc.? What is your agency held accountable for? Where does this accountability originate (e.g. legislation, funding sources)?
• Where does attention to people with ID and ASD in pursuing PSE fit in with those priorities and accountability expectations?
• Which of your agency’s programmatic efforts or initiatives are truly working to specifically support people with ID and ASD in pursuing PSE? How many people with ID and ASD are utilizing these services? Are these numbers representative of the ID and ASD population? How do you know they are successful?
• Looking at the Chart mapping the current legislative authority and core functions (Step 1 above) or the Agency Interaction Matrix (Step 2 above), what other questions would help you learn about the work of this agency?
![Page 98: Interdisciplinary, Interagency Collaboration for Transition From Adolescence to Adulthood](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e215503460f94b0ce41/html5/thumbnails/98.jpg)
Reviewing the Steps
• Deciding to Collaborate – The Invitation• Creating a Shared Understanding of Each of the
Partners, their Individual Roles and Responsibilities
• Creating a Shared Understanding of How Each Agency Might Work Together
• Utilize Case Examples to Surface Barriers and Unmet Needs
• Deepening Understanding of Systems Barriers through Learning Conversations

Key Learning
• It is critical to start early to lay the foundation (life experiences, role models, mentors, examples of success) for college and a career.
• There is a need to raise expectations across the board –i.e., parents, self advocates, agencies, and schools, that individuals with ID/ASD will achieve success in their lives and careers.
• Perceived authority and decision making influences the interpretation of policies, planning and service provision at a state and local level.
• Context is critical. During the course of our work, new barriers and opportunities for collaboration emerged.
![Page 102: Interdisciplinary, Interagency Collaboration for Transition From Adolescence to Adulthood](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e215503460f94b0ce41/html5/thumbnails/102.jpg)

Question to Consider:If the system worked well, what could/should happen to support this student’s self-determination and success?•What could education do?•What could the DD system do?•What could VR do?•Which agency is responsible for coordinating the health care needs? What could they do?•Who else needed to be involved?

Discuss the Following – Record Your Best Ideas:•What are the key transition issues?•In your experience with transition, what needs are typically not met? What are the barriers to meeting those needs? •What surprised you about your discussion? What was new information?•What recommendations would you suggest to make transition a more collaborative process? What strategies would you use?
