Colorado’s Sequencing of Services for Students and Youth with Disabilities

Colorado's Sequencing of Services: A Framework for Students and Youth with Disabilities

Introduction

Colorado’s state agencies, education partners, families, and service providers have collaborated to develop a shared vision and shared student outcomes for students with disabilities during their transition before and after high school.

The vision of the Sequencing of Services Framework is to demonstrate what programming and services, across a continuum of ages, are available to students and how different entities can all work together.

Summary:

The framework and workbook were created by state level and local stakeholders to improve individual access to services and supports, build local collaboration and improve student outcomes. This workbook is a tool to help you navigate services for students with disabilities across an age continuum to achieve the 6 Core Student outcomes that include employment, health management, community access, postsecondary opportunities, digital literacy and self-determination/leadership skills. The workbook can help to raise our expectations about what is available to access and ultimately better prepare students with disabilities for adult life.
