Abstract	A large proportion of youth in the juvenile justice system have disabilities (U.S. Department of Education, 2014). Research indicates that the prevalence of youth with disabilities in these settings is four to five times greater than the prevalence of youth with disabilities in public schools. Juvenile justice facilities often face challenges for providing special education services and meeting the needs of youth with disabilities. Researchers funded by the National Center for Special Education (NCSER) have sought to improve academic and social/behavioral outcomes for youth in juvenile justice facilities as well as transition outcomes for youth exiting these facilities. NCSER has also funded projects focused on preventing the involvement of youth with and at risk for disabilities in the juvenile justice system by addressing key risk and protective factors across the individual, peer, family, and school domains. This summary describes: (1) NCSER-funded projects that have sought to address risk factors for involvement in juvenile justice settings through middle and high school-based prevention and intervention efforts; and (2) projects aimed at improving outcomes for youth with or at risk for disabilities in the juvenile justice system. Given that the juvenile justice system encompasses a wide range of facilities (e.g., juvenile correctional institutions and specialized treatment facilities; Hockenberry, Sickmund, & Sladky, 2016), this summary will describe NCSER-funded projects that address the needs of juvenile offenders in both non-secure residential treatment facilities and secure juvenile correction settings.
