Summary

The National Longitudinal Transition Study 2012 (NLTS 2012) Restricted Use File (RUF) contains sampling and 2012-2013 survey data and documentation. NLTS 2012 includes a nationally representative set of nearly 13,000 youth with and without an IEP who were ages 13-21 when selected for the study. Among youth with an IEP are students who represent each of the disability categories recognized by IDEA 2004, and among youth without an IEP are students with a plan developed under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. Both youth and their parent/guardian were surveyed in 2012-2013. The RUF can be accessed through a restricted use license agreement with the National Center for Education Statistics.
