— (09/18/2015) The Disability Statistics Research and Training Center at the University of New Hampshire is interested in identifying VR agencies that link their data systems with their states K-12 education data system to track youth in transition. Please let us know if your agency has a mechanism in place for doing this.

From Richard Clark, Iowa Vocational Rehabilitation Services:

Iowa is currently trying to do this. It is not finalized but in the early stages should be able to tell us how many students with IEPs are connected to VR and what the outcome data is for those students. It will also tell us how many are still not getting connected with VR and potentially track services we are providing to Potentially Eligible students.

From Kathleen Enders, WI VR:

No we do not.

From Verline Davis, Arkansas Rehabilitation Services:

At this time, ARS does not have a mechanism in place. It sounds like a great idea, please let me know how it works for your state.
