Assessment - PA Secondary Transition

Secondary Transition Assessment

Ongoing and age-appropriate transition planning is informed by thoughtfully chosen assessments that will guide teams in supporting transition-age students in developing independence, which will inform their selection and accomplishment of career and adult-living goals. Transition teams should also engage families in the assessment process and follow-up planning as early and as often as possible to support their student.
