3. Choose appropriate assessments
     Should be based on the purpose of the  assessment, the behaviors and settings of concern and input of the student and other relevant individuals. 
     Use guiding questions to determine transition assessment information is needed for individual student.
     Become familiar with different types of transition assessments and their characteristics.

4. Conduct assessments – e.g.,
     Consistently focus on the established purpose of the assessment.
     Make sure to conduct observations in the setting(s) in which the behavior is expected to occur. 
     Seek input from the student and relevant people in the student’s life in a particular setting.

5. Use assessment findings in the transition planning process
      Use information to inform and include the student and their transition team in creating post-secondary goals, transition services and supports, courses of study, involvement of outside agencies and graduation and post-high options.
