Compendium of Project Profiles 1987.
Dowling, Jane; Hartwell, Cindy
This document is a directory of grants funded under the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS) Secondary and Transition Initiative. The volume begins with a description of the Federal Transition Initiative and the role of the Transition Institute of Illinois, and an overview of the information (including statistical data) collected from all the funded projects. The bulk of the document is a collection of 120 profiles of OSERS-funded transition projects, organized in the following categories: innovative programs in transition skills development for severely handicapped persons, cooperative models for planning and development, youth employment demonstration projects, postsecondary model demonstrations, postsecondary demonstration projects, vocational rehabilitation projects for severely handicapped individuals, secondary/transitional service demonstration models, and postsecondary demonstration projects for the mildly mentally retarded and learning-disabled. Each project profile contains such information as purpose, current focus, products, participants, direct services, related service components, evaluation plan, and instrumentation. An index provides subject access to the project profiles, focusing on the project's specific evaluation components and program characteristics. Appendices list newly funded projects and expired projects. (JDD)
