Respond to the following prompts.
(1 paragraph minimum)
1. Think back to your own high school experience. If you were sitting through an IEP meeting with your parents about your future what would you find challenging about the meeting? What would you feel? (memes are encouraged) What supports might you need to participate? Get specific.
(1 paragraph minimum)
2. Some students we work with have complex communication needs (they might not use verbal speech, might use an augmentative and alternative communication device, might use images for comprehension instead of written text) or extreme behaviors. We often think of these students as not being able to participate in the IEP process because they have challenges self-managing their behavior or aren’t able to communicate with IEP teams in traditional ways.
Post a visual support (develop on your own or find an existing support on the web) that might help a high school student with these challenges (you can choose behavior or communication challenges) to participate in an IEP meeting. Think critically to discuss how it will be used, how it is socially appropriate, and which IEP steps it would support them through.
What is a technological support you might provide to help them (could involve a computer, computer program, phone, iPad, etc.)? Think critically to identify how it will be used, how it is socially appropriate, and which IEP steps it would support them through.
Exclamation point.
