National Reports and Studies

• Transition services are not viewed as a priority by many state and local VR agencies. The exception appears to be with the VR agencies that have dedicated VR counselors who serve the transition population as all or a set percentage of their consumer caseload.

• In very few states or localities there are specified transition VR counselors at the local level who are assigned to local school districts.

• For the other states, VR services are only provided to transition-age youth upon request of the parent or when initiated by the school. [page 59]
