IDEAS that Work #149 General Subject of "IDEAs that Work " - Secondary Education NAME OF PRODUCT: NLTS2 Data Brief: Social Activities of Youth with Disabilities WHO WILL FIND THIS INTERESTING: Federal, State and local education agencies, parents and youth, educators, researchers, advocacy groups, and other agency personnel interested in the status of secondary and transition-aged youth.

ABSTRACT: The NLTS2 provides a national perspective on the participation of youth with disabilities in activities involving individual friendships and organized groups. NLTS2 findings generalize to all students receiving special education who were between the ages of 13 and 15 in December 2000. The information reported in this brief was gathered from parents/guardians of NLTS2 youth in telephone interviews or through mail questionnaires. Researchers asked parents how often youth interact with friends by getting together outside of school, receiving telephone calls from them, and being invited to other youths' social activities. Researchers also asked whether youth had taken part in various extracurricular activities during the previous year.

DEVELOPED BY: This brief was written and produced by SRI International, the OSEP-funded contractor for the National Longitudinal Transition Study-2, in collaboration with the National Center for Secondary Education and Transition (NCSET), an OSEP-funded cooperative agreement, awarded to the Institute on Community Integration (ICI) at the University of Minnesota. NCSET is a partnership with the Institute on Educational Leadership, the National Association of State Directors of Special Education, TransCen, Inc., the Postsecondary Supports Center at the University of Hawaii, and PACER, Inc.
