With the support of the NAPSEC Foundation, for nearly two decades NAPSEC members have participated in an Outcomes Study which focuses on students in out-of-district placements and those attending separate approved special education programs in the private sector. The purpose of the study is to identify the educational and post-school plans made by students as they leave these programs.  In particular, to determine (a) how many students plan to enter educational programs within their local districts after leaving the separate private school, (b) the specific settings to which students plan to return, and (c) how many students plan to engage in mainstream and other productive adult roles after leaving school.
