    Title of Collection: Evaluation of Transition Supports for Youth 
with Disabilities.
    OMB Control Number: 1850-0979.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved ICR.
    Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, and Tribal Governments.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 6,090.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 3,217.
    Abstract: This study will examine the effectiveness, 
implementation, and costs of two new strategies for supporting youth 
with disabilities and their families to prepare for a successful 
transition from high school to adult life. The first strategy is based 
on a model of self-determination instruction designed to help students 
develop skills such as goal setting, decision making, planning and 
apply those skills to plan and pursue their transition goals. The 
second strategy not only teaches self-determination skills but also 
provides individual mentoring to help students engage in and take 
active steps toward their post-school goals. The study will compare the 
intermediate and post-school outcomes for approximately 3,000 students 
who have an individualized education program and are approximately two 
years from high school graduation. Participating students in up to 100 
schools and 16 districts will be randomly assigned to receive one of 
the study's strategies or continue with the regular transition supports 
they receive from their school. This revised information collection 
request adds instruments to measure outcomes and assess the 
implementation and cost-effectiveness of each strategy.
