Transition aged students represent an under-served group of consumers with disabilities. There is money allocated by the educational system for services under the "transition" umbrella, but like the general case management report, there is very little outcome data to determine the effectiveness of these services __Texas State Action Team will focus on:__


 * Reviewing the optimization study and attempting to gather data about Current practices and funding structures for case coordination in Texas
 * Utilizing community mapping, attempt to identify agencies that utilize case management
 * Further utilizing community mapping idenitfy funding sources for a model to improve the efficacy of case coordination for persons leaving the education system and entering adult services for persons with disabilities.
 * Attempt to obtain data to support the effectiveness/ineffectiveness of case management beyond surveys and questionnaires.
 * Define how effective, collaborative, case coordination could improve the outcome data for young adults leaving high school
 * Continue to use social networking tools twitter and blogspot to gather/monitor information that can be helpful to
 * Transition aged kids in Texas schools who need case collaboration
 * utilize the KIN (Knowledge Involvement Network) State Action Team Planning tool to outline objectives of this project
 * Employ funding strategies to obtain funding to provide for a position within Collin County to support care coordination for students leaving high school and entering adult services
 * Collaborate with Region X education service center to identify existing resources
