Evaluate Quality. Create Impact.

Introducing the Transition Readiness Toolkit

The Transition Readiness Toolkit (TRT) is an innovative resource designed to revolutionize Pre-Employment Transition Services (Pre-ETS) for youth with disabilities. Built to support both service providers and administrators, the TRT combines a comprehensive suite of evaluation tools with powerful, data-driven insights in a user-friendly platform.

By measuring student growth and change, it provides clear and actionable information for customizing services, adapting curriculums, and improving outcomes. Far more than a data entry requirement, the TRT illuminates a path toward informed decision-making, highlighting strengths and areas for growth with precision while equipping administrators with essential tools to guide and monitor services effectively, ultimately paving the way for successful transitions.

What Providers are Saying:

“When completing the TRT, students have become quite more self-aware of areas they could benefit from having instruction and opportunities to practice using the skills.”

“Our education partners welcome the data and are very appreciative. They said, “This will help in the developing individual transition plans in their IEPs”. These assessments allow us to see the areas of need on an individual basis, as well as planning future workshops and presentations that focus on the greatest area of weakness.”

“There have been several instances in which student answers indicated an area of concern which we had not yet discussed, which led to improved service planning.”

It is a very helpful tool in understanding what areas an individual needs to work on. It gives us a baseline of where to begin and a goal to reach.

“One client took it and realized that he still needed to work on some skills before he graduates in May, so it was a nice ice breaker, instead of me just telling him and him thinking it was my opinion.”

“The TRT has helped us better plan and prepare when serving students by providing a guideline of topics and areas of focus. It allows us to add new information to our curriculum to better serve our students and allows us to know which resources would be of benefit to each specific student. All services can be specific to the students’ needs as they are taking the pre-assessments.”

Amplifying the Voices of Youth with Disabilities

At the core of the Transition Readiness Toolkit lies a commitment to amplify the voices of youth receiving Pre-Employment Transition Services. By measuring change resulting from Pre-ETS, the needs of the youth receiving services become the central driver of services.

The TRT was developed by and for students receiving Pre-ETS. Students from across the country provided essential guidance during the creation of the TRT so that it could provide an effective platform for evaluating the services received. By incorporating their feedback and perspectives into the evaluation tools and program evaluation processes, TRT ensures that their voices are not only heard but also integrated into the enhancement of services.

This approach fosters a more inclusive, responsive, and tailored support system. It allows for a deeper understanding of these individuals’ unique strengths and challenges, thereby shaping services to better align with their goals.
