University of Oregon

Since 2005, PIAR has been collaborating with the National Post-School Outcomes Center at the University of Oregon (psocenter.org). The PSO Center is charged with assisting states to meet the Federal SPP/APR 14 reporting requirements under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). In collaboration with the center staff, development activities have included identifying critical data elements, sampling procedures, data collection, analysis and reporting procedures. These documents and procedures are available for states to adopt to meet SSP/APR 14 reporting requirements. PIAR will pilot test many of these and will guide technical assistance to states.
