Abstract	The success that youth with disabilities achieve in school can be influenced by access to a range of services that support their education goals. As part of its mandate, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act Amendments of 1997 (IDEA '97) requires the provision of related services and supports to students with disabilities who are deemed to need them to benefit from a free appropriate public education, yet little information has been available nationally about the extent to which such services and supports actually are provided. This report fills this gap in the knowledge base by considering the following questions for secondary-school-age youth with disabilities: (1) What related services and other supports are provided to secondary-school-age students with disabilities during a 1-year period, and to what degree are they provided by or through the schools? (2) What is involved in parents' acquiring services, including how they learn about services, the amount of effort they expend, and barriers they encounter? and (3) What is the unmet need for services, according to parents? These questions are addressed by using data from the first wave of telephone interviews with parents of students with disabilities, which were conducted in 2001 as part of the National Longitudinal Transition Study-2 (NLTS2), funded by the Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) of the U. S. Department of Education. The following are appended: (1) NLTS2 Sampling, Data Collection, and Analysis Procedures; (2) Demographic Characteristics of Youth with Disabilities and Their Households; (3) NLTS2 Wave 1 Parent Interview, Student's School Program Survey, and School Characteristics Survey Questions That Generated Data for This Report; and (4) Unweighted Sample Sizes. (Contains 34 exhibits and 14 footnotes.) (ERIC).
