When students are given the opportunity to have an active role in the development of their individualized education program, they learn how to state their preferences and goals, and take ownership over their future. A student-led IEP process has many benefits, such as promoting self-advocacy, improving student engagement, and strengthening transition planning. This workshop will be co-presented by three people with experience with student-led IEPs: a disability advocate, a parent of a person with a disability, and a person who supports youth with disabilities as they transition to adulthood.
Presenters:
- Jayson Capobianco: Family Resources Consultant / Postsecondary Transition Consultant with the Vermont I-Team, part of the University of Vermont’s Center on Disability and Community Inclusion
- Ocean Streeter: disability advocate with Green Mountain Self-Advocates and UVM CDCI
- Michele Streeter: Northeast Regional Family Support Consultant with the Vermont I-Team
