This study explores the transition services available for youth with disabilities in foster care and the collaboration among foster care transition programs with other types of providers. Findings from this survey of independent living coordinators working for child welfare agencies indicate that while youth with disabilities are being served through transition programs and these programs collaborate with other government agencies, there are few services targeted directly toward their needs, little collaboration with community-based agencies, and a need for more information sharing.
本研究探讨了为寄养中的残疾青年提供的过渡服务，以及寄养过渡项目与其他类型服务提供者之间的合作。这项针对儿童福利机构独立生活协调员的调查结果表明，虽然残疾青年通过过渡项目得到了服务，且这些项目与其他政府机构有合作，但直接针对他们需求的服务很少，与社区机构的合作也很少，并且需要更多的信息共享。
