Briefing From NLTS2: The National Longitudinal Transition Study-2 (NLTS2)

On Wednesday, June 14th, SRI International project staff gave a briefing on the National Longitudinal Transition Study-2. The focus was on data collected in 2003 from youth, ages 15-19, during Wave 2 of the study. The presentation addressed the question, "What is life like for youth with disabilities, as seen through their own eyes?" These data reveal youths' perceptions of themselves; their school experience; the services and supports they receive; personal relationships; and their expectations for the future. Data from Wave 3, collected 2 years later in 2005, provides a backdrop for interpreting the results.
