Finding the right transition assessments can be a challenge!
We’ve developed this database to help you locate relevant tools to inform transition planning. We’ve already gathered more than 100 assessments, searchable by the transition domains they address, the areas in which they focus, the approaches they use, the disabilities for which they were designed, the languages in which they are available, the persons who complete them, and the cost. In most cases, a particular assessment covers multiple domains and can be used with a wide variety of students.Please note, if you select more than one transition domain in a search, the database will only pull individual assessments that cover all of the domains you select. In other words, the more transition domains you select, the fewer assessments that will populate the search. If relatively few options show when making lots of filter selections, reset the form and try using fewer filters at the same time.
We want to grow this resource to include more tools as well as more low-cost or free options. If you know of other assessments we’ve missed (or that you have created), let us know by submitting information at the bottom of this page. And if you are having trouble finding the right tool, don’t hesitate to let us know that as well.
