Featured projects
IPARRT supports interdisciplinary research initiatives aimed at expanding the understanding of disability-related issues, exploring novel interventions, and advancing evidence-based practices to enhance the lives of students, youth, and adults with disabilities.
This initiative, led by Florida Atlantic University, provides State Vocational Rehabilitation Agencies (SVRA) participants with specialized certifications and education for high demand sectors through three distinct tracks: Cybersecurity, Cloud Computing Solutions, and Computer-Aided Design & 3D Printing. Participants receive work-related skills training, career counseling, and training that provides opportunities for careers in high-demand technology jobs.
This project, led by the Maryland Department of Disabilities, will develop, implement, evaluate, and replicate an innovative interagency data-sharing tool. Through this project, we intend to increase linkage to essential education and employment services that enhance the seamless transition to postschool supports and competitive integrated employment outcomes. This digital tool represents a pioneering interagency transition data-sharing system that will enable school and state agency personnel, including state vocational rehabilitation agencies (SVRAs), to effectively communicate and share information about students’ application, eligibility, and services.
