Current Narrative:
DES/Rehabilitation Services is currently engaged with the Exceptional Student Services (ESS) of the ADE. This active engagement has allowed DES/Rehabilitation Services to cultivate 22 Third Party Cooperative Agreements and numerous other connections with local schools statewide. DES/Rehabilitation Services and the ADE have developed a data sharing agreement which is currently in the approval process. It is expected that this increased ability to share data will allow both parties to work collaboratively to identify, refer, and provide services to youth with the most significant disabilities.
