Examples and non-examples--I-13

This online resource begins by explaining Indicator 13 and 14 which is important because many parents and students are unfamiliar with the term. The opening page also gives families an overview of agencies that specialize in special education transition services. There are several links that provide important information that can be very useful to families in this situation. In my opinion, this website is full of wonderful information and at times seems a bit overwhelming. Some of these important areas are; occupational therapy, early childhood, funding, physical therapy and parent partnerships. I would use this resource as a guide to parents and teachers who are in the process of transitioning a student/child to middle or high school. I would have a meeting with the student and parents to discuss the transition process and ask the parents to view the website to that they have an understanding about the different agencies involved to help.

"Development of the TAGG began in 2007 with creation of the basic idea, collection of initial research studies, and social validation studies of the basic concept. A grant award from the National Institute of Education Science's National Center for Special Education Research provided the funding to bring together an involved group of assessment experts and transition professionals to create the TAGG. The following chapters of the TAGG Technical Manual describe the iterative development process that produced the TAGG assessment and results of various validity studies. We developed the TAGG following the steps detailed in the Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing (1999) by the American Educational Research Association, American Psychological Association, and the National Council on Measurement in Education. The Technical Manual Chapters will be updated as additional validity evidence becomes available."
