This training will demonstrate how to implement effective instructional practices to teach transition skills to students with significant cognitive and adaptive disabilities who participate in the Oklahoma Alternate Assessment Program (OAAP).

Special educators and paraprofessionals will learn about evidence-based practices tied to the Predictors of Post-School Success. Practices presented will include task analysis, chaining (forward/backward), prompting (when/how to use and fade prompts), video modeling, and more to enable students to make progress toward their postsecondary and annual transition goals. Effective instructional practices for communication skills and the use of assistive technology (AT) will be addressed. Attendees will have hands-on opportunities to practice effective instructional practices. Participants will learn how to collect and use data to develop annual IEP goals and monitor student progress. This training will build upon information previously presented during the 2025-2026 school year.
