The purpose of this article is to present the application of the universal design model in the broad field of psychological assessment for education, covering the area of creating diagnostic tools as well as designing the process of assessment. A universally designed diagnostic tool enables fair and valid assessments of a wide range of users, including individuals with special educational needs. It also helps prevent bias in test scoring and interpretation and, at the same time, enables fairness in test use. The authors present the synthesis of the guidelines concerning the design of universal diagnostic tools and the diagnostic process itself at four key levels: conceptual, formal, test administration, and interpretative. As an example of a universally designed tool, the Comprehensive Analysis of Cognitive Processes (KAPP) has been mentioned. Discussion includes the benefits and limitations of applying the idea of universal design to psychological assessment with an emphasis on test development.

The career transitioning of students with specific learning disabilities (SLD) has not been commendable. People with SLD are overrepresented in unskilled work and underrepresented in managerial and professional occupations as compared to their non-disabled peers. This research paper discusses the career transitioning of students with SLD with regard to existing research concerning knowledge, attitudes and perceptions about these students. It examined ways of preparing and supporting students with SLD towards their transition into the world of work. Additionally, it examined how important career transitioning is for students who have SLD. Stronger social networks, improved self-esteem, avoiding stigma, and potential lifetime advantages including better incomes and independent living as some of the relevance of career transitioning for students with SLD. The paper highlights the need for students with SLD to receive support and guidance from their parents, teachers, school administrators, peers, counselors, and other stakeholders in order to obtain stable careers for the future. Further research is required to strengthen the literature that already exists on this topic.
