A successful transition from high school to adult life begins with understanding who the student is today. This session focuses on choosing and implementing age-appropriate transition assessments that do more than just check a compliance box—they actively build self-determination. Participants will explore a variety of formal and informal assessment tools designed to help students discover their own strengths, preferences, interests, and needs (SPINs). We will discuss practical strategies to move students from passive participants to active leaders in their own IEP and transition planning process, ensuring their voices drive their postsecondary goals.
