Ben Schwartzman is the principal investigator for the Whole Community Transition Project ( https://vkc.vumc.org/vkc/ucedd/cbtp/) which is a community-based project to develop and implement an innovative transition model to improve outcomes for transition-aged youth with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

In addition to this project, Schwartzman also serves as an interventionist on the Transition Pathways Project ( https://transition.vcurrtc.org/partners/vu.cfm) which is investigating how paid work in the final year of high school impacts the post-school outcomes of students with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
