Rubrics for Transition IV: for Students With Severe Disabilities

Designed for special education students with severe and/or multiple disabilities. 

The manual and optional CD-ROM contain rubrics that define 43 research-based transition skills for students with severe and/or multiple disabilities in the areas of

• Workplace Skills and Attitudes
• Responsibility
• Interacting with Others
• Technology Skills
• Basic Academic Skills
• Habits of Wellness
• Planning for Success

Each rubric in the manual defines a transition skill in detail.  The rubrics provide clear and consistent criteria for

• communicating expectations
• writing goals and objectives
• defining what is taught and evaluated
• collecting meaningful data
• reporting results

The manual also comes with a transition needs assessment survey, which contains a listing of all 43 transition skills for students with severe disabilities on a single page.  The skills are formatted in a manner that assists IEP teams in discussing a student’s transition strengths and needs and identifying a reasonable number of important transition priorities to be met.

Finally, the manual contains a multiple-year progress report form. This two-page report contains a listing all 43 transition skills for students of severe disabilities, along with columns for tracking transition information such as:

• in which grade(s) did the team focus on specific transition skills
• for which postsecondary goal(s) did the skill improvement apply
• how was skill improvement managed (IEP goal, transition service, or through a course)
• what was the progress of skills which were managed as IEP goals

The progress report can be used as the basis of a multi-year transition portfolio.  The team can use the portfolio to track the student’s progress over multiple years.  The student can use the portfolio to store important transition material and information.
