T​ransitionTN has developed this database to help you locate relevant tools to inform transition planning. They’ve already gathered more than 100 assessments, searchable by the transition domains they address, the areas in which they focus, the approaches they use, the disabilities for which they were designed, the languages in which they are available, the persons who complete them, and the cost. You are required to register for a free account in order to access the database. After you sign up, go to the resources tab and click on the assessment database.
