Abstract
The improvement of transition services through effective management strategies in service planning and coordination is proposed. Current barriers to effective service planning and coordination are discussed. Included among these are conflicting policy goals, eligibility criteria, funding patterns across agencies, and an inconsistent national policy. Three major approaches to overcoming barriers to effective service planning are proposed. All require that present approaches to interagency service planning and coordination of services be changed.This publication has 15 references indexed in Scilit:
