Project Description:

Need: Students experiencing foster care are at higher risk of struggling in school, dropping out, and being suspended or expelled. Outcomes are even more dire for students with disabilities. The Arc Michigan received a grant from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services to coordinate the Foster Care Disability Navigation program. The Michigan Developmental Disabilities Institute was contracted to survey participants on their satisfaction with the project activities. Overall goals and objectives: To assess the satisfaction of students with disabilities who received foster care special education advocacy services from The Arc Michigan. The satisfaction surveys will also assess families' and/or guardians' satisfaction with special education services. The Michigan Developmental Disabilities Institute (MI-DDI) will provide technical assistance to develop the survey instrument and prepare The Arc Michigan's advocacy providers to administer the survey instrument. MI-DDI will analyze the survey results and report these findings in a year-end report.
