Increasing Postsecondary Opportunities and Success for Students and Youth with Disabilities

Increasing Postsecondary Opportunities and Success for Students and Youth with Disabilities

This “Questions and Answers” (Q&A) from the U.S. Department of Education describes how State educational agencies (SEAs), local educational agencies (LEAs), and State vocational rehabilitation (VR) agencies may coordinate to assist students and youth with disabilities in high school and at postsecondary education institutions, through appropriate supports funded under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Rehabilitation Act), as amended by Title IV of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA).  It helps to explain how and when IDEA funds and VR funds can be used to support students in postsecondary education programs.
