The Control Group of PROMISE

NYS PROMISE

There are more than 2-thousand youth enrolled in New York State PROMISE, which is a research project. Half of the students and their families are enrolled in an intervention group and receive a coordinated set of services and supports aimed at promoting a successful transition to adulthood. The other half are in a control group. While students in the control group don't receive the same enhanced supports, their participation is critical to gathering accurate data to help bring about future systems change for students with disabilities who receive Supplemental Security Income or SSI.
