Project Description:

The Texas Cooperative Extension (TCE) has at least one office in each county. The office provides various training and services to families in the county. Many of these services can benefit families of individuals with disabilities. However, most families of individuals with disabilities do not use these services and most county agents have little knowledge about disability issues. Our Center has decided to work with TCE and families of individuals with disabilities to increase these families' utilization of TCE services. The statewide need assessment project is designed to collect information about the extent to which families of individuals with disabilities use TCE services and how much TCE county agents know about disability issues. This information will guide the design of future project activities and the development of products that will facilitate interactions between TCE county agents and families of individuals with disabilities.
