Abstract

Functional linkage between school and adult service agencies is an essential component of effective transition planning and service provision for students with intellectual disabilities. In order to provide effective outcome-based transition services, models for interagency cooperation were designed and written for state and local-level agencies which commit agency resources to realizing transition related outcomes. The purpose of this article is to present an overall three-tier interagency structure which provides a foundation for successful collaborative agency planning and service provision for students with intellectual disabilities.
