Transition Updates

July 2020
WHAT'S NEW
Texas Education Agency (TEA) Updates
TEA recently updated their special education technical assistance resources for schools which include information about child find, evaluation, and Individualized Education Program (IEP) development. We wanted to highlight the additional information in these guides related to the transition supplement within the Admission, Review, and Dismissal (ARD) committee meeting, transfer of rights requirements, and summary of performance requirements.

NEW! SCTN TRANSITION RESOURCES
Video Modeling Implementation Guide for Educators
Video modeling is an evidence-based practice where an individual learns a desired skill by watching a video of a model (e.g., sibling, peer, or parent) completing the skill correctly. Once the video has been viewed, the individual is then prompted to complete the skill. Teachers can use this guide to teach a wide variety of skills including academic, social, behavioral, vocational and functional skills for in-person instruction, at-home learning, and virtual instruction.

This guide, prepared for the SCTN by Dr. Ryan Kellums, provides information and tools necessary to create, film, and implement video modeling interventions. If you are interested in learning more about using this strategy with your students, click here or on the picture below to get started.
