A wide variety of tests and assessments are utilized to help participants learn more about their vocational interests, skills and abilities.

Student Services: The goal of this service is to assist students age 13-21, their parents and teachers with an exploration of potential career choices for the students. Through the use of assessment tools, the staff helps students identify their strengths and interests as they relate to future career choices.

HFM BOCES Transition Services helps to meet the New York State requirements for a Level II Career Assessment. Available through a district CSE referral, a Level II assessment provides standardized testing based on an individual's need related to job interests, skills, aptitudes, motor dexterity/speed/coordination, and learning style.

Adult Services: The HFM BOCES Career Assessment unit contracts with ACCES-VR to provide specialized vocational evaluations for adults who are referred by their rehabilitation counselor. The specialized vocational evaluation is individualized based upon the unique needs of each referral. A combination of assessments are utilized to help individuals learn more about their vocational interests and strengths. Testing in the areas of academic achievement, vocational interests, aptitudes and abilities, sensory/motor skills and learning styles are available.

Transition: Technical assistance is available in the area of transition to assist districts to prioritize needs and develop strategies to assist them in achieving their goals.
