Outcome Assessment of the START-UP USA Program

New Editions is conducting an outcome assessment that examines the START-UP USA program, a three-year, $5 million multi-state initiative designed to increase the numbers of youth and adults with disabilities who are self-employed. New Editions examines the extent to which the three sub-national projects have developed policies and practices that promote systems change resulting in an increase in the numbers of individuals with disabilities becoming self-employed. An open systems model of evaluation is used.
