According to the Council for Exceptional Children’s Division on Career Development and Transition (DCDT):
"Transition assessment is the ongoing process of collecting data on the individual’s needs, preferences, and interests as they relate to the demands of current and future working, educational, living, and personal and social environments."
In simpler terms:
Transition assessment is an ongoing process, not a one-time assessment.
It gathers meaningful data over time to support individualized planning until a student's exit from high school.
It ensures the student’s voice, preferences, and culture are respected and reflected upon.
Transition assessments:
Help students identify postsecondary goals.
Clarify the support and services needed to reach those goals.
Assist educators in designing relevant instruction and experiences.
Engage families and transition partners in shared, meaningful transition planning.
