Researchers from SRI International and the University of Oklahoma are collaborating to create a new assessment tool to help educators ensure that students with significant cognitive disabilities (or extensive support needs) leave high school with the skills they need to be successful. Unlike existing transition assessments, which are based solely on input from parents and educators, the Transition Assessment and Goal Generator – Alternate (TAGG-A) will obtain information from the students themselves to generate a report that will guide the students’ final years of secondary school. This report can form the basis of a student’s transition plan, an important tool for educators and families in preparing students for their next steps after high school.
