Descriptive information was provided concerning characteristics of clients served, clients' problem areas, case outcomes, and PAIR methods for resolving cases. This study yielded two findings with important implications for advocacy on behalf of persons with disabilities. First, the success of any such advocacy was significantly related to a staff member's attendance at a meeting between the client and responding party. Second, the level of PAIR staff attendance found at such client meetings was primarily limited to juvenile clients. These results support a call for advocates to engage in fieldwork intervention between parties in all cases but particularly in those involving adult clients.
