🌟 AI Webinar: Student-Led IEPs 🌟

Students are often their own greatest advocates. They understand their needs, goals, and challenges in a way no one else can — and when they’re given the chance to lead, powerful things happen.

Tune in NOW for our webinar on Student-Led Individualized Education Programs (IEPs)! We’re sharing practical strategies to help students take an active, confident role in developing their IEP and even leading parts of the meeting.

A student-led IEP allows the student with a disability to participate in writing, shaping, or presenting their own plan. When students take ownership in this way, they learn to speak up for themselves, make informed decisions, and build lifelong self-advocacy skills.

✨ What You’ll Learn:

How to prepare students to share their strengths and needs

Ways to guide them in setting meaningful goals

Tools to help them take responsibility during the IEP process

Steps to support students in leading portions of the IEP meeting

This is a great opportunity for families, educators, and professionals who want to empower students to become confident leaders in their own educational journey.

📌 Tune in now and be part of this empowering discussion!
