Next Steps to Independence: Skills and Strategies
The Next Steps checklist was developed by the TEA and can also serve as an informal transition assessment for self-determination skills. It is divided by age and grade ranges, starting with Birth to Age 3 and ending with 18+ (Ages 18-22), highlighting critical developmental milestones, Important action steps for families, and teaching and learning strategies.
The checklist represents averages and will not fit every child perfectly. If appropriate, use a younger or older age and grade range to better understand the child or adult student’s strengths and transition needs.
The Next Steps checklist focuses on specific skill areas that help predict postsecondary success for children and adult students with disabilities:
Choice Making & Decision Making,
Goal Setting & Independence,
Self-Management & Self-Awareness, and
Self-Determination & Self-Advocacy.

It can be confusing to find help for older adults and people with disabilities. Aging and Disability Resource Centers (ADRCs) are part of the No Wrong Door system, which is designed to streamline public access to long-term services and supports (LTSS). ADRCs serve as a key point of access to person centered LTSS specialized information, referral and assistance and provide one-stop access to information for people who need help finding LTSS.
ADRCs help cut through the confusing maze of funding sources, multiple intake systems, and eligibility processes. ADRCs provide help to people in all 254 counties in the state.
