During the National Association of State Directors of Special Education's (NASDSE) 2005 annual meeting, a panel of youth representatives challenged states to do a better job of including youth with disabilities in state-level decision making (e.g., as members of state advisory panels [SAPs] and/or transition councils). State directors of special education enthusiastically accepted this challenge. The purpose of this document is to describe several states' current efforts to meet this challenge. The document includes the perspectives of both state education agency (SEA) representatives and youth representatives from six states.
