Person Centered Planning (PCP) Brief - Person Centered Planning meetings can be considered an approach that brings team members, including educators and agencies, together to plan for a student’s future. The process is done through a mapping process where all participants can have input. It’s a great tool in the transition planning process. Ask your Transition Consultant for more information.

Secondary School Success Checklist - This evaluation of student skills can be completed by staff, families, and students. It can support teams in identifying priority goals related to independence and behavior, transition, social competence, and academic skills (with a focus on literacy).
