| Abstract: | The Youth Transition Report presents data that underscore the gap between youth with disabilities and those without disabilities on measures of success in education and employment. While other reports present information about the working-age adult population and children with disabilities, there are no reports that specifically focus on the youth and young adult population, ages 14-24. The Institute for Educational Leadership (IEL) produced this report to address that need by creating a snapshot of the outcomes of and gaps between youth with disabilities and those without disabilities. The report also includes data on those opportunity youth whom the education and workforce systems have not adequately served and supported. This report explores descriptive status of education and employment for youth and young adults at national and state levels. This report also includes calculated data from the National Center for Education Statistics and the U.S. Department of Education's Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) website. In future years, the annual Youth Transition Report will also include a longitudinal trend analysis of those key indicators of youth and young adults with and without disabilities. |
