Transition Skill Plan for Autistic Learners

Transition Skill Plan is a practitioner-guided planning tool for practitioners supporting autistic learners approaching a transition point. It helps practitioners define transition skill goals connected to future school, work, community, or adult-life environments, identified strengths, support needs, concrete skill targets, and progress monitoring.

Goal Traceability

Every goal should connect to a future participation need and to identified strengths or support needs.

Progress Monitoring

Progress observations are descriptive and remain tied to stable goal and target wording for comparison.

What It Does Not Do

The tool does not administer standardized assessments, determine eligibility, or recommend placement.

Does this tool administer TTAP?

No. It creates a transition skill plan and does not implement standardized TTAP scoring or assessment items.

Can the learner participate in planning?

Yes, when appropriate, but the record does not define exact learner prompts; the workflow remains practitioner-guided.

What makes a goal incomplete?

A goal is incomplete when it lacks a future participation need, concrete skill target, or relevant strengths/support context.

Does it predict transition success?

No. It organizes goals and progress observations without predicting outcomes.
