The implementation of the Transition Assessment Plan results in the team having access to additional authentic information about the youth. This information is used to make decisions about goals for adult life, transition services, connections and next steps. It is recommended that after transition assessment information and data have been gathered, the team set a time for the team to analyze and summarize the new transition assessment data and information. At this meeting, the team will Analyze, Summarize and Draw Conclusions.
