REL Mid-Atlantic partnered with the Maryland Department of Disabilities to inform development of a data linkage tool that will assist government agencies, school systems, and families coordinate and track services for students with disabilities. The tool intends to improve service coordination and help connect students to career readiness, post-school career services, and post-secondary education opportunities by streamlining all data collected during the lifecycle of an Individualized Education Program and beyond.

Completed Projects
This partnership was a collaborative effort led by the Mid-Atlantic Comprehensive Center to develop a universal consent form for students and families, data sharing agreements between schools and state agencies, and a list of data elements for a data linkage tool to ultimately support better transition outcomes for youth with disabilities after high school. REL Mid-Atlantic brought evidence-based practices to develop a logic model, support cross-agency engagement, and inform tool development to support the partnership.
