No.

I still have the old versions of ESTR and I want to use them up before I purchase the new version. Will the online scoring still be available to score the old versions? Will my online reports still work with the new version?

When purchasing the online report generator, you are not purchasing access to a specific scale. What you purchase can be used on any scale. The online scale report generator is available to use with the old & the new scales, however the old paper scales are no longer sold.

Do I need to order the online scale report generator or can I score on my own with the paper version?

The online report generator is a resource that is available to you for developing a report. Professionals may analyze the assessment data and organize a report themselves. As the focus of transition assessment is to develop a description (PLAAFP) of student strengths and needs, it is important that the summary be descriptive of all skills noted in the scale.

What if many people want their own logins out of one main account with the online scale report generator?

If you choose not to have multiple people share one login, we can set up a transition coordinator account for you free of charge. One person’s account is the “main account” and the others are linked to that main account with different logins. Only the person holding the main account can see every report. That person can also funnel the amount of reports each person under them will have. We will need a spreadsheet filled out with all of the potential sub-accounts and will then link them to the main account.

Can I assess a student online?

It is important that transition assessment be descriptive of student functioning across all environments so a team approach should be used in conducting the assessment. Utilizing our paper protocol allows sharing the assessment items with various team members (e.g., parents, special education teacher, work experience coordinator, related service personnel) to gain input. We offer a parent version that reflects open-ended questions to provide descriptive information of student functioning in home and community environments.

How does the parent assessment work?

We advise professionals to seek information from the parent via the parent form prior to completing ratings on a TRS instrument. The parent version allows parents/guardians to provide descriptive information of student functioning in home and community environments. Once school personnel have this information, ratings that are completed on a TRS are more reflective of students’ functioning across environments.

Spanish parent versions were available in the past? When will they be available again?

We hope to have these available Fall of 2022.

Do you plan on offering a manual to coincide with the updated scales?

We hope to have this available Fall of 2022.
