Online Survey for Parents of Transitioning Age Youth (16-28) with a Intellectual/Developmental Disability October 10th, 2014

Dear Parent:
 
The California Employment Consortium for Youth and Young Adults with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (CECY) needs your help. CECY would like to improve life after high school for young adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities who would like to go to college and/or get a job. To find out more about CECY please visit our About Us web page at http://www.semel.ucla.edu/tarjan/about. 
 
We have put together a survey that will take about 15 minutes to complete. The survey has open-ended, multiple choice and yes/no questions. Some examples of the questions are:
 
·       How important is it to you that your son or daughter begins college within one to two years of completing high school?
·       Has a teacher or counselor from your son or daughter’s school worked with them to plan for their life after high school?
·       Is work a goal in your youth/young adult’s Individual Program Plan (IPP) with the Regional Center?
 
The survey results will help us create tools and materials to help young adults find services for going to college and getting a job. Please take our survey to help us increase choices for young adults.
