The Alliance for Full Participation was recently awarded a $50,000 contract from the Social Security Administration to examine existing transition policies pertaining to youth with disabilities. The one-year contract was awarded to assist state level policy makers in developing more results driven systems that support successful adult outcomes, including competitive employment and community living. "AFP's State Teams and their work identifying, measuring and promoting employment practices and policies will be instrumental in identifying the programs and practices that make a difference ," said Karen Flippo, AFP State Team coordinator. This procurement will support the further development and continuing improvements to Social Security's youth employment initiatives. Results will be shared in AFP's newsletter, webinars and at the 2011 Summit. |

This is after a quarter century of legislation, litigation, and federal and state support. We simply have to change organizational culture and build coalitions for change in local communities. communities |
