The following new Project Forum document was recently prepared under Federal Cooperative Agreement H326F050001:

Highly Mobile Children and Youth with Disabilities: Policies and Practices in Five States (click here to link to document)

* The primary focus of this In-Brief Policy Analysis is on a subset of the population of mobile children—children with disabilities and their families who are highly mobile. The document begins with a background section that provides information about policies and practices developed for mobile children at the federal level. The second section is an analysis of interviews with five state directors of special education and their corresponding McKinney-Vento program coordinators regarding how states are addressing the needs of this population. Interviewees discussed causes of mobility; how they locate mobile children; the number of mobile children and costs of services; features of state programs under McKinney-Vento; how they track outcomes; challenges they have encountered; and policy recommendations.

Please feel free to include the above short summary in any pertinent organization’s newsletter.
