    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 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 is 
used to analyze and evaluate the effectiveness of individual Client 
Assistance Program (CAP) grantees. These agencies provide services to 
individuals seeking or receiving services from programs and projects 
authorized by the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended. Form RSA-227 
has enabled RSA to furnish the President and Congress with data on the 
provision of advocacy services and has helped to establish a sound 
basis for future funding requests.
