Last week was a big one for TNSTEP. ❤️🤍💙

We had the honor of hosting a Constituent Roundtable on Special Education & Support Services at the Tennessee State Capitol with Joseph Williams, Chief of Staff to Governor Bill Lee, along with Commissioner Lizette Reynolds and her team from the Tennessee Department of Education. Parents of children with disabilities from across the state shared their children’s educational journeys and how they learned to collaborate with their schools to advocate for their children’s needs in the classroom.

We were also invited by Chairman Mark White and members of the House Education Committee to share the important work we do with Tennessee families as our state’s only federally designated Parent Training and Information Center.

Our message was simple but mighty: Parents are required members of their child’s special education planning meetings, and TNSTEP equips families with the knowledge, confidence, and support they need to participate in those meetings in a meaningful way. When parents understand their rights and responsibilities and feel empowered to contribute, outcomes improve — not only for their children, but for their classmates, teachers, and schools as well.

We are grateful to state leaders who are willing to listen to families and professionals navigating early childhood and special education systems every day. And we are especially grateful to the families who courageously shared their stories.

Making decisions about life after high school is challenging, especially for students with disabilities. Sue has an IEP, so she's required to have a transition plan to help prepare her for adult life, and it’s already in motion. She’s been placed in a Work-Based Learning job at an animal shelter, based on a career path her parents chose for her, without fully considering her allergies, anxiety, or autism. Now, Sue is learning the hard way how important it is to speak up when others are making decisions about her future.

Follow along this fun and important video to discover tools to help you take charge of what comes next! Full Video: https://youtu.be/G2llREDky4A?si=GqKuWOVF2j7yskqd
