  • Introduction

    Educators can use the Secondary Transition Guide for Students Who Are Deaf or Hard of Hearing to empower students to make the connections and decisions they need to successfully transition to post-school life.

    The Secondary Transition Guide is divided into two sections: the Student Profile of Transition Skills and the Transition Guide. Both sections may be used together to help track students’ progress toward their post-school goals.

    Student Profile of Transition Skills

    The Student Profile of Transition Skills records a student’s transitional skills beginning in 7th grade and ending in 12th grade (or the student’s postsecondary program). This section provides a quick look at a student’s cumulative progress toward skills that will help him or her achieve postsecondary goals. The section also includes information on academic performance, functional performance, progress toward postsecondary goals, and development of self-advocacy skills. Additional comments may be made in this section by the educator, support staff, the student, or family members. These comments will help create a more complete profile of the student’s skills and progress.

    Secondary Transition Guide

    The Secondary Transition Guide provides suggested objectives that can be used to measure student progress through the transition process. The objectives are divided into various sections, that including self-advocacy, career/skill development, academic development/educational goals, independent living skills, social skills, and community involvement/extracurricular activities.

  • Student Profile of Transition Skills

    The Secondary Transition Guide for Students Who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing begins with a convenient longitudinal record of

    each student’s academic progress, a summary of functional performance, postsecondary goals, and agency involvement.

    Use the Student Profile to:

    • Record pertinent information such as: report card grades, grade levels, student/family input, student strengths/weaknesses,postsecondary vision, etc.

    • Record assessments used during 7th grade through the postsecondary years.• Record anecdotal notes that summarize important factors impacting the student’s progress in attaining proficiency in transition

    skills.

    In addition:

    Filling out the Student Profile will aid the completion of the Summary of Performance form (SOP), which must be completed the

    final year of a student’s education in accordance with the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).

    Please check to verify the SOP form utilized by your district.

    THIS DOCUMENT IS INTENDED AS A SUPPLEMENT TO OTHER STUDENT INFORMATION. IT IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR, NOR SHOULD IT BE USED TO PROVIDE LEGAL DOCUMENTATION OF A STUDENT’S PROGRESS TOWARD ATTAINING EDUCATIONAL GOALS.
