Origins of This Research
  • Adaptive Environments concerns that there was
    little understanding of the nature of
    post-secondary outcomes of high school graduates
    with disabilities
  • Little longitudinal research on outcomes for high
    school graduates
  • National Longitudinal Survey
  • High School and Beyond Study provide only limited
    insights into students with disabilities
  • National Longitudinal Transition Study of the
    National Center for Special Education Research
  • Only tracks outcomes for students with disability

3
Project Overview
  • Pilot longitudinal study designed to measure
    student access to post-secondary institution
    after graduating from high school for both
  • Special education student
  • All other students
  • Current study examines
  • Initial college enrollment
  • One year college retention
  • Future studies will examine
  • College dropout behavior
  • College graduation outcomes

4
Data Sources
  • High School Information Total of 14 cooperating
    high schools provided information on graduation
    seniors
  • Demographic characteristics
  • Low income measure
  • School behavior measure
  • Disability Status and Characteristics

5
Data Sources (cont.)
  • National Student Clearing house Centralized
    data on post-secondary enrollment organized for
    student loan verification
  • Based on semester/term reports submitted by
    nations colleges and universities
  • Covers about 92 of undergraduate enrollment in
    the nation
  • Provides measures of
  • Initial enrollment
  • Retention
  • Transfer
  • Graduation

6
Creating the Longitudinal Data Base
  • CLMS working with high schools and NSC creates a
    longitudinal record for each graduate
  • Record connects high school background
    information with post-secondary enrollment
    history on a term by term basis
  • Permits tracking of individual students from a
    given high school into college
  • Tracks students into particular post-secondary
    institutions
  • Tracks students as they transfer on a school by
    school basis

7
Analysis
  • Quasi-experimental design
  • Natural experiment composed of participant group
    of graduates with disabilities
  • Control group of all other students
  • Data can be used for both longitudinal and
    cross-sectional analysis
  • Today we will present
  • Descriptive finding
  • Multivariate findings on the impact of disability
    on the likelihood of college enrollment or
  • Likelihood of one year college retention
