Once you turn 16, your school must invite you to your IEP meetings. You can join at any age, and taking the lead in your own meeting is a powerful way to build confidence and life skills. The part of your IEP that looks ahead to life after high school is called the Transition Plan—it’s focused on your goals, your interests, and your future. If school supports aren’t working or you’re not learning what you need, your IEP may need to be updated. You are an important member of the IEP team, and your voice truly matters.

☕️ Have you ever thought of your child as having an 'emotional cup'?

💟 We all have activities and tasks that fill and empty our cups.
💟 The reason your child may be bouncing off the walls, "acting out" for attention, and stealing from others cups may be a result of getting close to empty.
💟 Behaviors are often ways children attempt to communicate their wants and needs.

☕️ What does it look like when your child has an empty cup and what can you do to help fill it up?
