Transition Assessment in the PTP

A transition assessment must be completed to move forward with the IEP meeting.  If the assessment is not completed, the IEP Team meeting must be rescheduled.  This step also includes the student’s Academic and Career Plan (ACP), which starts in 6th grade for all Wisconsin students. The ACP can be used as part of the transition assessment and should be reviewed during the transition planning process. If a student doesn’t have an ACP, contact the school’s ACP Coordinator or School Counselor.

A well-developed ACP can help fulfill many of the transition services required in the PTP. Educators should promote collaboration between the ACP Team and the IEP Team to strengthen both plans. Building connections between these plans helps ensure students are ready for college, careers, and community life after graduation.
