Designed by a special educator and inclusion mentor, this resource uses simple, student-friendly self-assessments to encourage conversations about independence rather than focusing on what students can't do. Whether you're preparing students for employment, college, supported living, or independent living, these checklists provide an easy starting point for transition planning and goal setting.
