Person Centered Planning is a process to help students and young adults with disabilities to develop a positive future for themselves and their families. It helps the student, family, and team to focus on the students strengths, opposed to their challenges, and to help create a meaningful transition plan and measurable postsecondary goals for a student with outcomes connected to the future. This evidence based practice is a great informal assessment tool for all students, including low-incidence and students with significant disabilities.

Part 3: Wednesday December 6th– The rest of the IEP: writing annual goals, calculating minutes, and documenting related service providers is still an important part of 18+ programming. 

Accommodations and Modifications can be challenging to communicate, document and implement. This session will will talk about the meaningful implementation and documentation in the IEP.

Presentation will discuss:

Summary of Performance, Planning transition assessment and activities for the upcoming year, Gathering data to track student growth, choosing quality materials.

Part 2 Wednesday November 1st– Building content and schedules for students who are returning to school after their 4 year cohort can and should look differently than a typical 8:00-3:00 school day. Outlining a detailed course of study, with accurate learning objectives, and resources to continue to gather data and document progress helps us to create programming that is individualized based on student needs and to reframe our mindset of what the educational day may look like for students. 

We will be doing a quick review of the transition assessment process, then participants will steal the show! Bring the transition assessments you have in your toolbox and share with the group - tell us when, with whom, and why you like this particular assessment so we can all refine our toolkit and learn from each other.

You can attend one or both days, but you don't need to attend both.
