Meeting Post Transitional Outcomes

2. Case Study Root Cause Analysis
Fishbone root cause analysis is used when:
At team wants to identify what a student needs to learn in order to successfully transition.
A team needs to study a problem/issue to determine the root cause.
A team needs to identify areas for data collection.
A team wants to study why a process is not performing properly or producing the designed results.

3. Draw the fishbone diagram.
List the problem on the head.
Label each bone with categories to be studied.
Identify the factors within each category that may be affecting the problem.
Continue until you no longer get useful information.
Analyze the results

4. Let’s take a look at Transition
What evidence of student strengths and barriers to adult independent living do we have in the following transition domains?
Functional Academics
Vocational
Community
Domestic
Recreational
Social/Emotional

5. Fishbone Root Cause Analysis
Functional Academics
Vocational
Community
Problem:
What skills does this student need to learn
in order to successfully transition to adult/
independent living?
Goals
Domestic
Recreational
Social/Emotional

6. Let’s look at the data What are the student’s strengths?
What does the student need to learn in order to successfully achieve his post secondary goals?
What questions do we still have about this student’s strengths and barriers?
How will we gather information to answer our questions?
What are the next steps?
