...develop job and vocational skills. Post-secondary transition goals are developed for every individual at the high school level with the intention of harnessing the individual’s interests and skills into paid employment after graduation. IDEA identities transition services as a “coordinated set of activities” that promote movement from “school to post school activities.” Research studies report that post school activities and employment rates for individuals with intellectual disabilities were slightly under fifty percent according to Douck and Joshi (2012). Years of transition goal development and implementation occur at the high school level with the primary focus of employment for the individual. If transition planning and skill development are effective at the high school level, why do current employment statistics reveal less than fifty percent of individuals with mild intellectual disabilities obtain employment and less that twenty percent of individuals with severe intellectual disabilities? The purpose of this literature review is to examine high school transition planning and its correlation to the employment outcomes for individuals with intellectual disabilities. Through valid related literature, I will examine the process of developing transition plans and the utilization of assessment, implementation of the goals in the classroom and community, and finally the search for employment and employment statistics for individuals with intellectual disabilities.

... Ontario. It will examine the use of four standardized assessments in career counseling, then select and budget relevant assessments and resource material. The anticipated client group includes: unemployment recipients (70% recently unemployed due to downsizing), average age is 30-40, 60% female, 20% First Nations, 20% professional immigrants, and an English and French population. To get a fuller understanding of an individual undergoing career counselling, there are four main groups of the psychometric assessments to consider performing, that would be helpful to assisting the individual in their decision process, they are: value scales, interest inventories, personality inventories, and aptitude test. Even though the connection between these four groups of assessment is complex, an easier way to describe the main interrelationships in terms of career assessment is that values measures make it easier to understand fundamental motivators and the cultural context. Interests come from, and can be understood in the context of these fundamental values. If the outcomes of interest measures are vague, for instance if there are two differing veins of interests, the career counsellor can go back to the values outcomes to offer a starting point for choosing between them. The personality and aptitude measures provide the person an examination of their strengths and weaknesses comparative to their interests, if vocational interests are corroborated with the suitable personality and aptitude...

...SELECTING AND USING ASSESSMENTS Introduction This chapter will address three issues: (a) the institutional assessment needs of workforce development organizations, (b) the assessment needs of individual youth to help make informed choices about their careers, and (c) the practical needs of practitioners for information about how to select and use different assessment tools. At the end of this chapter, Exhibit 3.1 contains information that can be used to help with the selection and use of assessments, including a directory of commonly used published tests. Meeting Institutional Assessment Needs Agencies and organizations in the workforce system use assessments to meet institutional needs in two ways-to determine a youth's eligibility for services and to document achievement of program goals by assessing the progress of program participants. The number of participants served and achievement of program goals can impact the amount of funding an organization receives. Funding for the youth programs considered in this guide may come from the Department of Education, the Department of Labor, other federal agencies, states, local governmental agencies, or a combination of these. Table 1.2 in Chapter 1 summarizes the eligibility and assessment requirements of IDEA, WIA Title I, and the Rehabilitation Act. More specific information on assessments mandated or permitted by several federal funding sources may be found in Appendix A. (Mandated assessments are those required...

Gibson describes guided writing as a “small-group instructional framework presented to students who share similar needs at a particular point in time.
