Sequencing of Services Community Initiative

Summary of Progress

Since 2022, eleven communities have been engaged in Colorado’s Interagency Sequencing of Services Initiative to build capacity around their transition efforts for students with disabilities by connecting with their interagency partners. These eleven communities received technical assistance from state leadership to support their efforts with implementing the Key Components of this Initiative, with the first priority being to help communities build interagency transition teams. Once teams were established the communities focused on improving their systems of communication, engaging with families, increasing their understanding of transition services available, improving referrals, and in general focusing on improving access to services for improved student outcomes. Communities organized their efforts around the interagency framework of the 6 Core Student Outcomes with the intention of promoting the idea of collaborative team planning all driven by the student’s vision and interests.

Please visit the Colorado's Interagency Sequencing of Services 2024 Evaluation Report (PDF) to learn more about the experience of implementing the Sequencing of Services initiative in the communities across the state that are currently involved in the program. The report shares community achievements, barriers, goals, and requests for technical assistance.

Current Community Teams

Colorado’s Interagency Sequencing of Services Initiative will continue to provide ongoing technical assistance and support for communities as well as engage with new communities to build interagency teams to enhance collaboration efforts for students with disabilities and their families.
