Welcome

Welcome!

This website is designed to help Transition and Employment Services Designees (TEDs) connect with agencies and others that provide support for adults with disabilities. See each tab at the top of this website to find lists of area agencies, organizations, and companies that support education, employment, and community access. These contacts are made available for TEDs and others to research options available to meet the needs of students and do not reflect endorsement by Region 13.

Inviting Agencies to ARD Meetings

This optional ARD invitation form was designed by Region 13 and Vocational Rehabilitation Services to increase meaningful collaboration between schools and agencies in the ARD invitation process. See the companion video for more information about using this optional form.

State Performance Plan Indicator 13

The SPP 13 checklist includes item #8:

"If appropriate, is there evidence that a representative of any participating agency was invited to the Admission, Review, and Dismissal Committee (ARD) meeting with the prior consent of the parent or student who has reached the age of majority?"

For more on this item, see the video available on the SPP Livebinder, and the Guidance for Inviting Agencies to ARD Meetings available on the TEA website.
