Reseña del editor

When planning transition supports for young adults with severe developmental disabilities, professionals may overlook a crucial step--thoughtful, creative transition assessments. This groundbreaking book from top researchers in the field places assessment at the heart of transition planning, showing readers just how important it is to understand the needs and goals of young people with disabilities before planning supports to guide them into adult life. Educators, administrators, counselors, service providers, and families will examine diverse assessment methods like student self-evaluation, performance tasks, teacher-generated profiles, curriculum-based assessment, and structured interviews with students and families. They'll discover ways to help individuals direct their transition plans, choose their own goals, and communicate them effectively. And they'll learn how personalized, step-by-step action plans can empower young people with disabilities to pursue their chosen path, whether it's going to college, traveling, getting married, and/or enjoying a successful career.
