The newly reauthorized version of IDEA, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act of 2004, requires that school districts provide students who graduate or exceed age eligibility for special education with a Summary of Performance (SOP). The SOP should contain a summary of the student's academic achievement and functional performance and provide recommendations on how to assist the child in postsecondary environments. In this article, the authors present a range of assessment data—both formal and informal—that is likely available in a student's file to incorporate into a comprehensive SOP document. They use the template developed by The National Transition Documentation Summit to organize their comments and recommendations.
