Transition Skills Inventory (TSI)
The TSI for secondary school students assesses essential skills in independent living, employment, and post-secondary education.

The inventory provides criterion-referenced assessments across four key transition areas: Academic Skills for post-secondary education planning; Post-Secondary Opportunities for assessing employment and educational readiness; Independent Living covering practical aspects like food and housing; and Community Participation, focusing on civic engagement and resource utilisation.
