Assessments

All Special Education Case Managers working with students in High School need to conduct transition assessments with their students in preparation for the IEP meeting each year. Assessment must be conducted in the areas of Career Interests and Career Skills. In addition, there should be assessment in the area of Independent Living if the student has needs in that area. Following are some tools that can be used for transition assessment:
