Abstract: To gauge progress in addressing the needs of youth with disabilities, the U.S. Department of Education is sponsoring a five-year longitudinal study focused on the educational and transitional experiences of youth between the ages of 13 and 21 in December 2011. The study focuses on three sets of research questions: What are the characteristics of youth with disabilities? What services and accommodations do they receive and what are their courses of study? What are their transitional experiences as they leave high school and their educational, social, and economic outcomes? The study will compare this group with three other groups: (1) youth who have no identified disability, (2) youth who do not have an IEP but who have a condition that qualifies them for accommodation under Section 504 of the Vocational Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and (3) similar cohorts of youth with an IEP who were studied in the past. Districts and youth will be randomly selected to ensure that they are nationally representative. The study sample will include approximately 500 school districts and 15,000 students. Phase I data collection will occur in spring 2012 and spring 2014, when sample members will be ages 13-21 and 15-23, respectively. The study will collect data from parents, youth, principals, teachers, and student school records.

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: There will eventually be an overall program change increase of 10,775 to OMB #1850-0882, National Educational Transitional Study, as a result of the burden hours from this phase I collection. This program change wil be a result of the burden hours being added for Phase I activities of this clearance while the burden hours from the initial submission will be deleted. (The burden from the initial v.1 submission activities will be completed by the time these phase I activities are approved.) Note that the burden reduction is due to removing the teacher surveys (at this time) which will be eventually added back under an OMB83 C request (showing the increase in hours).

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $3,704,797
