New 2021 revisions of our scales are now available!
Since our beginning in the 1990’s, ESTR Publications has led the way in providing transition assessment to support planning that meets the requirements of the Individuals with Disabilities Act.
The revised scales (formerly ESTR—now TRS) have been improved by reconceptualizing content to better reflect the needs of educators and parents—as communicated by these groups. We have improved our scales by:
Imbedding more technology-based items
Revising items to support cultural sensitivity
Removing items that consumers viewed as unimportant
Revising items that consumers found confusing
Improving formatting with an eye towards clarity and ease of use
Revising parent forms to support narrative descriptions
