What supervisors say about PAES

“Students we thought we understood started showing us things we had not seen. Once they engaged with PAES, everything shifted.”

“PAES gave us a language for what our young adults can do, not a list of what they cannot. That changed the conversation with employers, with parents, and with the young people themselves.”

“The most data-driven assessment of student work potential, strengths and needs currently available for IEP development and transition planning.”

“We are thrilled with the new changes and believe that they greatly strengthen the core of PAES, which is to provide student data-driven results that will enhance our ability to plan for the future of our students.”

“PAES lab jobs within a mixed ‘World of Work’ program prepared our seniors for internship placement in areas beyond any single instructor’s expertise.”

“Our IEP meetings changed once we had PAES data in the room.”

“PAES lets our students show us what they can do, not what they can’t.”

“81% of supervisors say PAES reveals strengths that traditional assessment misses.”

“86% of educators report students show increased transition readiness after PAES.”

“74% of supervisors trust PAES data enough to use it for high-stakes transition decisions.”

“75% say PAES reduces subjectivity in decisions about students.”

“89% of supervisors report improved student motivation in the PAES lab compared with any other assessment setting.”
