Product Description:

Youth with disabilities in foster care are at a severe disadvantage in moving toward successful adulthood. Through a collaborative initiative with the Arizona DD agency and independent living centers, the Sonoran UCEDD is implementing a statewide program for foster youth with I/DD, offering person-centered plans (PCP) and self-advocacy workshops. This initiative evaluates the efficacy of PCP, facilitator behaviors, and cross-systems collaboration to improve outcomes of transition to adulthood.
