The proposed presentation will discuss the results of a study on interagency collaboration in Illinois. Linkages and relationships among disability providers are the main focus of the study. The study will utilize collaboration mapping highlighted in Frey et al., 2006. The visual representation of collaboration will be a useful aid to see how many linkages exist between disability providers and the strength of those linkages among the disability providers. The baseline data in the study collected will be utilized to determine how effective interventions are at improving collaboration among disability providers. The primary focus will be disability providers that provide employment-related services, including schools that provide employment-focused training.
