This report addresses questions of interest to federal officials in the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS) concerning the characteristics, services, and outcomes of transition-aged youth (ages 18-25) who applied for Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) services during November 1994-December 1996. The analyses conducted for the report address the specific questions developed by a task force of OSERS officials. Findings include: (1) transitional youth represent 13.5% of all VR consumers, or approximately 135,391 persons, with nearly two-thirds of these youth having participated in special education in high school; (2) an educational institution had referred 64% of these youth to VR, with youth who were special education students referred more often by this source; (3) youth who had been special education students were more often male, African-American, and experienced mental retardation or learning disabilities; (4) transitional youth typically applied to VR in order to obtain services that would assist them in labor force entry; (5) youth VR consumers averaged about 8 services during VR; (6) nearly two-thirds of youth VR consumers achieved an employment outcome as a result of VR services; and (7) of those who achieved employment, the majority entered competitive employment. Appendices include consumer information. (Contains 20 tables and 3 figures.) (CR)
