Welcome! This website is a library of curated age-appropriate assessments and transition and employment resources for educators working with transition-aged youth in Ohio schools. Viewers can choose to navigate this site by using the horizontal menu or site map that displays internal pages alphabetically.
Educators and families will find formal and informal assessments designed to support transition-aged youth as they work toward life experiences beyond high school. These resources include general assessments for educators, families, and students; assessments for post-secondary employment, college, and independent living; and assessments for health and medical concerns.
Also included on this site are transition and employment resources from the Ohio Department of Education, Ohio Center for Autism and Low Incidence (OCALI), Ohio Employment First, OhioMeansJobs, Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services, National Technical Assistance Center on Transition, and others.
The vetting of assessments and resources represents a collaborative effort by Ohio’s 16 State Support Teams. This website is designed and maintained by State Support Team 1. Contact State Support Team 1 or call 419.720.8999 if assistance is required.
