Ed 1  \nAbstract  \nThe purpose of this study was to establish construct validity of a college and career readiness measure using a sample of youth with (n = 356) and without (n = 1,599) disabilities from five high schools across three U.S. states. We established content validity through expert item review, structural validity through initial field-testing, and convergent validity by correlating domain scores with school academic and behavioral data. A four-factor measurement model emerged representing the domains Ownership of Learning, Academic Engagement and Processes, Interpersonal Engagement, and Career Development. Domain scores were significantly correlated with achievement, college admission exam scores, and attendance. Implications for research and practice with an emphasis on transition service delivery via multi-tiered systems of support are discussed.  \nKeywords  \nsecondary school, college and career readiness, age-appropriate transition assessment, validity, multi-tiered systems of support  \nYouth with disabilities have increasing career and postsecondary education options that allow for opportunities to be gainfully employed in adult life (Grigal et al., 2019) . Despite this progress, disparities persist with regard to preparing these youth for college and careers. National data have consistently indicated the graduation rate for students with disabilities is lower (72%) than youth without disabilities (86%; National Center for Education Statistics [NCES], 2021a, 2021b) . Postschool outcomes for youth with disabilities also lag well behind their peers without disabilities. Youth with disabilities remain less likely to attain and maintain competitive, integrated employment or pursue postsecondary education to prepare for long-term careers (Lipscomb et al., 2017; Newman et al., 2011). As such, it is imperative we identify and teach skills needed to be college and career ready while these youth are still in high school to ensure they are prepared for postschool life.  \nThe purpose of this study was to establish construct validity (Messick, 1995) for a college and career readiness (CCR) measure of academic and nonacademic skills critical to adult life and useful for all students, with and without disabilities. We describe our efforts to pursue schoolwide data collection via a multi-tiered system of support (MTSS) approach. Specifically, to establish construct validity, we focused on three types of validity evidence: (a) content  \nvalidity through expert item review, (b) structural validity through pilot field-testing, and (c) convergent validity by correlating resulting domain scores with school academic and behavioral data.  \nFocusing on CCR for all students may ensure students with disabilities have access to schoolwide supports as part of transition services. Students with disabilities benefit from access to and inclusion in general education (McLeskey et al., 2012; Sabornie et al., 2006) . Specifically, correlational evidence indicates that more time in general education is positively related to enrollment in postsecondary education and a greater likelihood of employment after highschool (Lombardi et al., 2013; Mazzotti et al., 2021; Rojewski et al., 2015) .
