Assessment and collaboration: Key elements in comprehensive and cohesive transition planning.
The relatively recent study of adolescent transitions into adulthood has compiled little consensus on exemplary practices or theoretical models. Despite this, transition planning teams are mandated to develop plans that result in successful achievement of adult roles. This task is predicated upon choosing appropriate assessments, and assembling them into a comprehensive and cohesive transition profile through collaboration among transition team members. States have provided broad guidelines or frameworks but few offer detailed listings of domains to address in the planning process. This article addresses some of the major issues team members face and identifies strategies for their successful resolution.
