    Abstract: Form RSA-227 is used to meet specific data collection 
requirements contained in Section 112 of the Rehabilitation Act of 
1973, as amended, and its implementing Federal Regulations at 34 CFR 
Part 370. Data from the form have been used to evaluate within 
individual programs. These data also have been used to indicate trends 
in the provision of services from year-to-year. In addition, Form RSA-
227 will be used to analyze and evaluate the effectiveness of eligible 
Client Assistance Program (CAP) administered by designated CAP

advocacy services and has helped to establish a sound basis for future 
funding requests.
