The Comprehensive Special Education Project (COSEP) is described as involving Indian Youth Advocates and Indian Youth Resource People trained to act as liaisons between Indian families and the schools in Northeastern Minnesota where COSEP goals are to: identify out of school Indian youth and arrange special in-school or out-of-school services for these youth; identify in-school Indian youth and assist in determining their special learning needs, arranging special education services, changing special education services when inappropriate, and providing a positive Indian identity; work with Indian parents in the formation and operation of parent committees; and provide information dissemination re: educational and vocational options for in- and out-of-school Indian Youth. Evaluating COSEP's three years of operation, this document presents tabular data describing: identified out-of-school, school age Indian youth (high, low, and average incidence school districts and number of youth receiving professional contact and assistance); in-school Indian youth identified via Title IV-A participation; Indian youth receiving special education services, Title I services, and other special services; frequency of special academic help for Indian students; intervention involvement by advocates with Indian students who have special learning needs; Title IV-A parent committees; and identified Indian senior high school students. The importance and success of this project are described by project personnel via annecdotal accounts. (JC)
