The new and improved Transition TA Toolkit......has a new name and content!
We have updated and expanded what was the TA Toolkit for broader use for education and VR! The Collaborative Assessment Guide for Transition Planning is intended to help develop a coordinated assessment approach for transition planning and service delivery. The guide is designed to help include:
- students,
- family members,
- educators,
- vocational rehabilitation (VR) counselors,
- human services and health agency staff, and many others.
In particular, the resources include sections designed for students and families. In addition to definitions and how assessment aligns with federal laws, there's a supplement of sample assessment tools.
The assessment process consists of six separate but interconnected processes and the guide is organized by them. They are:
- Determining What to Assess
- Determining Stakeholders
- Selecting Appropriate Assessments
- Conducting Assessments
- Reviewing Assessment Results and
- Using Assessment Data
