Are you confused about which tools to use and who else might partner with you to gather this valuable information with your students? Learn how to make these decisions, practice modifying assessments for individual needs and learn how to document the assessment results in order to help your students achieve their desired postsecondary goals. This training will help you in the creation of age-appropriate transition assessments for students with intellectual disabilities that will fulfill the requirements of Indicator # 13.

  3. communicate without using speech
  4. have challenges making choices
