Description

Prior research identifies numerous variables correlated with successful post-school outcomes for youth with disabilities; however, more needs to be understood on how these variables manifest in low education funding states. The session will present focus group findings and survey results of a 2014 survey administered to 634 Arizona high school students with disabilities and 224 guardians to determine how students and families are preparing despite significant political barriers.
