Final Thoughts For
Transition Assessments
*It is important for assessment information to
be collected continuously with periodic
checkpoints, because students may
change their minds (e.g. interests,
preferences) and attributes (e.g., skills,
knowledge, strengths).
Transition Assessments Should:
• Assist the student to identify needs, interests
and preferences
• Determine appropriate accommodations and
supports
• Determine appropriate instruction and
activities that will assist the student to achieve
post-secondary expectations
