Root Cause AnalysisMeeting Post Transitional Outcomes

Fishbone root cause analysis is used when:1. At team wants to identify what a student needs to learn

in order to successfully transition.2. A team needs to study a problem/issue to determine

the root cause.3. A team needs to identify areas for data collection.4. A team wants to study why a process is not performing

properly or producing the designed results.

1. Draw the fishbone diagram.2. List the problem on the head.3. Label each bone with

categories to be studied.4. Identify the factors within

each category that may be affecting the problem.

5. Continue until you no longer get useful information.

6. Analyze the results

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

Goals

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?
