Transformative Partnerships: Expanding Extension's Capacity to Support Texans with Developmental Disabilities
Crocker, Andrew B.; Bradley, Morgan D.; Vaughn, Shelby D.; Stalvey, Beth
Journal of Extension, v60 n2 Article 6 2022
New partnerships to reach new audiences are key to Extension's future (Harder, 2019). But partnership is enhanced through shared decision-making, co-creation of content, and leveraging non-overlapping expertise and experience (Bertsch et al., 2020; Israilov & Cho, 2017; Ostrom, 1996). Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service partnering with the Texas Council for Developmental Disabilities provides a novel approach to using statewide presence to the benefit of a partner seeking to expand its footprint (Alford, 2014; Ostrom, 1996) and is, itself, an outcome (Voorberg et al., 2015). Additionally, Texans with disabilities benefit through greater access to the education and resources the partnership produces.
