Age Appropriate Transition Assessments and Summary
Personal Interests: Rolanda is very interested in music and responds to be alert when music is
provided. She enjoys many different activities when given the choices. She likes to go to the
movies and loves to go to many different places with her family such as the zoo, baseball games,
and even university events.
Training/Education: Rolanda began her education in a self-contained environment when she was
in elementary and middle school. However in high school all of her teachers were pushing he to
be in an inclusive setting for some of the day. She spent most of the day in the inclusion setting
and for two periods of the day she was in a resource classroom.
Employment: Rolanda is not currently employed, however she does have an interest in music
and would love to be able to play music for a radio station. In looking at the future we want to
make sure that we involve her in something that is related to music and the opportunity to listen
to it while working.
Independent Living Skills (Optional): Rolanda needs round the clock care. After high school her
parents are planning on having her in the care of a relative. We want to help her to become more
independent in her abilities to make choices for her self and communicate them in a way that
allows her independence in communication.
