Student Driven Cross-Agency Assessment Coordination and Implementation: An Overview of the New NTACT:C Collaborative Assessment Guide for Transition Planning

This engaging webinar presented by youth and family representatives and NTACT:C staff, will provide an overview of the new NTACT:C Collaborative Assessment Guide for Transition Planning (CAG). The CAG is intended to help students, family members, educators, vocational rehabilitation (VR) counselors, human services and health agency staff, and other partners develop a coordinated assessment approach for transition planning and service delivery. The CAG includes supplemental sections designed for students and families and a listing of common definitions used throughout this resource. It also includes a supplement to highlight the assessment requirements of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA, 2004) and the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Rehab Act), as amended by title IV of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA). Finally, it includes a supplement of sample assessment tools.

Training Objectives: 

• Understand the six-step cross-agency assessment process.
• Increased knowledge of the strategies and resources to ensure that students and families, educators and vocational rehabilitation counselors are actively engaged in the assessment process.
• Increase ability to identify examples of activities, tools and resources that can be used as part of the cross-agency assessment process.
