Maine P2P Project

The overall goal of the Maine P2P (Pathways to Partnership) project is to develop a collaborative innovative model to effectively improve transition services across agencies. This project will increase Competitive Integrated Employment (CIE) for children and youth with disabilities.

The primary outcomes of the Maine P2P project are to:

1. Provide P2P transition services to 300-500 project participants aged 10-13 so that they gain career readiness skills
2. Provide P2P transition services to 300-500 transition-aged youth 14-24 to help them enter/retain CIE
3. Provide P2P training to all DVR (Division of Vocational Rehabilitation) counselors and transition providers in partnering agencies;
4. Create and build a seamless system that allows project participants to transition and receive services across three agencies: Maine DVR, Main Department of Education (ED), and AlphaOne (Maine’s sole Center for Independent Living).

Maine P2P Project Overview

Maine’s Pathways to Partnerships Project proposes a new model that leverages the expertise and fiscal and staffing resources of the Maine Division of Vocational Rehabilitation, the Maine Department of Education (MDE) and Alpha One – Maine’s Center for Independent Living (CIL) and partners with three Local Educational Agencies as pilot sites with the goal of developing a collaborative innovative systemic model that effectively improves transition services across agencies and increases CIE for children and youth with disabilities in Maine.

Dashboard

Below you will find an interactive map sharing data about the education and employment outcomes of individuals with disabilities in the country. The data presented on this dashboard is derived from the National Center for Education Statistics, the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey, and the Current Population Survey, covering the period from 2000 to 2022. The map specifically pertains to youth with and without disabilities under 10 years old, between 10 to 13 years old, and between 14 to 24 years old. It offers a detailed overview of various aspects concerning this population, encompassing educational milestones, employment trajectories, and social program utilization over the specified period.
