Intervention Summary

Get the Picture?! is an educational program designed to increase the college and career readiness of exceptional students with disabilities. The program involves one-on-one guidance and support from a career strategist, who meets with students at least weekly to monitor their Individual Learning Plan (ILP). The ILP focuses on college and/or career readiness with realistic, big-picture goals and action steps for life after high school. The program also includes a school-based Support Team that coordinates and monitors the one-on-one work and Student-to-Strategist match. Additionally, the program provides opportunities for family engagement, including at least two family events per year and regular family contact.

Data Sample by Population

These charts show the characteristics of the student populations studied. When assessing programs, you may want to prioritize interventions that yielded success in a similar demographic environment as your school or district.

The subgroup population data as studied here are not available. That means that while this study may work well for your setting, we cannot say based on the published study and results from our system’s reading of that study what the school/district subgroup characteristics were when evaluated here.
