The Legal Aid Society of San Francisco - Employment Law Center is working with attorneys from Protection & Advocacy, Inc. (www.pai-ca.org <http://www.pai-ca.org/>) and the Disability Rights Legal Center (www.disabilityrightslegalcenter.org) <http://www.disabilityrightslegalcenter.org/> on a project focusing on special education services, and specifically on "transition" services-services that are supposed to be provided by school districts to assist students in moving from school to adult life.
We're looking for families with children receiving transition services (or who should be receiving such services but aren't) who would be willing to speak with us about their experiences-any successes or any problems-they may be having.
