This study examined previous literature that described approaches to interagency collaboration and identified the most appropriate practices to implement while working with transition-age youth with disabilities and their families. Within this qualitative content analysis review of literature on interagency collaboration, we used the theory of working alliance and its three categories (i.e., goals, bonds, tasks) to support best practices in interagency collaboration for youth with disabilities. Twelve themes were developed to support the three categories and define how stakeholders could create successful interagency collaboration. These themes can be used to provide guidance for best practices to inform successful interagency collaboration among those involved in the transition planning process. Limitations and implications for future research and practice are discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
