Abstract

This Toolkit provides recommendations for practitioners working with youth with disabilities who are involved with the justice and/or foster care systems ("systems-involved youth") as they transition to employment. This includes youth (ages 14-24) who are currently involved with one or both systems, or who have previous involvement. Our findings and recommendations come from four research activities:

  1. A scoping review of promising practices for systems-involved youth with disabilities who are transitioning to employment

  2. An analysis of Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA) data

  3. Focus groups and surveys with service provider professionals and people with lived experience in these systems

  4. A scan of state policies aiming to improve service coordination between agencies serving youth involved in multiple systems
