Transition Assessment Outcomes

Transition assessment must be an ongoing process to develop a good sense of what the student’s preferences, interests, needs and strengths are. Federal law requires a transition assessment to be completed prior to writing the student’s measurable postsecondary goals.

The IEP team should consider:

• Transition assessment outcomes and interests.

• Beginning not later than in the first Individualized Education Program that will be in effect when the child is 14, and updated annually thereafter, develop a statement of appropriate, measurable postsecondary goals for the child based on age-appropriate transition assessments related to training, education, employment and, where appropriate, independent living skills.

• The student’s preferences, interests, needs and strengths.

• How often does assessment take place and consider assessment on the job, and the assessments within Wisconsin’s Youth Apprenticeship and Employability Skills Certificate?

• Look at the student’s Academic and Career Plan (ACP) and reflect on the assessments used within the ACP platform, such as Xello.
