National Center on Secondary Education and Transition

The National Center on Secondary Education and Transition (NCSET) was established to create opportunities for youth with disabilities to achieve successful futures. During its OSEP-funded years, NCSET provided technical assistance and disseminated information focused on four major areas of national significance for youth with disabilities and their families —

• Providing students with disabilities with improved access and success in the secondary education curriculum.

• Ensuring that students achieve positive postschool results in accessing postsecondary education, meaningful employment, independent living and participation in all aspects of community life.

• Supporting student and family participation in educational and postschool decision making and planning.

• Improving collaboration and system linkages at all levels through the development of broad-based partnerships and networks at the national, state, and local levels.
