Center Overview
The National Center on Education, Disability, and Juvenile Justice (NCEDJJ) is a collaborative research, training, technical assistance, and dissemination program designed to understand and develop more effective responses to the needs of youth with disabilities in the juvenile justice system or those who are at risk for involvement with the system.
Methods
A collaborative effort involving faculty and staff from various educational institutions and agencies, the NCEDJJ has a team of advocates, practitioners, and scholars who will work as resource fellows and consultants. The research, training, and technical assistance activities of the NCEDJJ will involve school and community-based prevention activities, education programs in juvenile correction settings, and transition activities as youth leave juvenile corrections and reenter their communities.
