@BrookesPubCo Have youth lead the meeting! There are so many areas in which youth can learn about their IEP and lead! Building self-determination is a game changer! Youth with disabilities are waiting for the adults to be okay with them stepping into a leadership role! #IfNotNowWhen

[IEP Road To Freedom @StudentLedIEP]

Expose students to the power of self-determination! Teach the 9 elements, get them involved in leading this IEP meeting! Practice practice practice before leaving high school!
Thanks @BrookesPubCo

#TransitionTuesday: When students with #Disabilities take the lead in their IEP meetings, something powerful happens—they begin to build confidence, self-awareness, and a real voice in shaping their future.

Watch how student-led IEPs can change the game: https://t.co/7LqMuYVsBF

BINGO! 💯👇@KelleyChallen
When Adult Allies (Teachers and Parents) build capacity in youth to lead their IEP meetings, they become a lot freer to help themselves. It also enriches our work as we pursue fulfilling the mission statement of IDEA. @NESCANewton @RaiseCenter @PNWNY

Attended a job developer mtg yesterday and we discussed the barriers of employment. "Your availability impacts your hireability," was front & center. How you do help your students consider that employment might include working some nights or the weekends in the beginning of their career. Pls share.
