CIRCLES

Circles Building Collaborative Partnerships ™

Communicating Interagency Relationships and Collaborative Linkages for Exceptional Students 

CIRCLES is a three-team model of interagency collaboration to support positive in-school and postschool outcomes for students with disabilities. We will use the acronym CIRCLES across the website.

CIRCLES is currently being used in Arkansas, Kansas, Michigan, South Carolina, and Tennessee. The project is studying the impact of CIRCLES on collaboration between schools and community partners and in-school and postschool outcomes (e.g., employment, education, community engagement) of students with disabilities.
