As part of its charge to provide training and technical assistance that will enable State VR agency personnel to manage available resources, improve effective service delivery, and increase the number and quality of employment outcomes for individuals with disabilities, the Vocational Rehabilitation Technical Assistance Center for Quality Management (VRTAC-QM) developed this resource outlining the specific VR program requirements on transition services.
The Rehabilitation Act and its regulations require VR agencies to enter into formal interagency agreements with SEAs describing how the entities will collaboratively plan and coordinate transition services for students with disabilities needing those services.

To support these efforts, RSA, in collaboration with OSEP, created this review instrument for formal interagency agreements between SEAs and VR agencies.
