“Discover How Ten Sigma Age-Appropriate Transition Skills Assessments Improve the Transition Assessment Process in 3 Simple Steps PLUS How to Start a Free 14-Day Trial!”
Functional Transition Skill Assessments are Essential!
IDEA 2004 requires that students are assessed on their academic achievement and functional performance to establish the Present Levels of Academic and Functional Performance (PLAAFP) for important life and employment skills.
While many educators do a good job of assessing academic performance and using interest inventories to develop a student’s Transition plan, they often miss evaluating students on functional skills that are essential for success in adult life.
Failing to Use Functional Skills Assessments is Out of Compliance and Hurts Students
Without assessing functional skills and including them in the PLAAFP, the IEP is not compliant nor does it adequately prepare students for adult life. By assessing functional skills, the IEP team identifies priorities of functional skill needs and develop annual goals, Transition services, and/or assign courses of study to address those needs.
