AIR Self-Determination Assessment (Zarrow Institute on Transiton & Self-Determination)

Description:

AIR Self-Determination Assessment - The American Institutes for Research (AIR), in collaboration with Teachers College, Columbia University in New York City, developed the student, parent, and educator versions of the AIR Self-Determination Assessments with funding from the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Special Education Programs.

The AIR Self-Determination scale: 

  • produces a profile of the student's level of self-determination 
  • identifies areas of strength and areas needing improvement
  • identifies specific educational goals that can be incorporated into the student's IEP

The AIR Self-Determination Scale measures two broad self-determination components:

  • capacity refers to the student's knowledge, abilities, and perceptions that enable them to be self-determined
  • opportunity refers to the student's chances to use their knowledge and abilities.
