  1. Me, Myself and My IEP

  2. What is an Individualized Education Program (IEP)? • A coordinated team with the student, their family, educators, service providers, school counselors, and other agencies brought together to help figure out a plan to support the student. • An IEP Plan: • Records your academic, social, and transition goals • Keeps track of your performance • Notes the accommodations and assistive technology that you need to be successful in high school • Huh?!

  3. So what does an “IEP” mean to me? • An IEP helps you reach your educational or academic goals—giving you the tools you need to be successful! • The IEP is made with your teachers, your parents/guardians, speech/language pathologist (speech teacher), Occupational Therapist (you may see them around P.E.) as well as psychologists and doctors, and YOU! • The IEP can also be an important factor when you “transition” out of school and into work, college, recreation, and independence!

  4. So what is an IEP again? • Do you have an IEP? • Have you ever taken part in one of your IEP meetings? • If so: • What was that experience like for you? • Were you included in the conversation or asked for your opinion? • How did you feel after leaving the meeting?

  5. Leading Your IEP • Choose a partner! • Talk with your partner and work together to fill out the IEP meeting handout. • Go through the script you filled out, practicing leading your own IEP. Pretend these people are also there: • Your mom or dad • Your teacher • Anyone else you think should be involved

  6. Share what you learned! • Why is your input important when creating an IEP? • What most surprised you when doing the handout? • How do you think it would feel if you were to actually lead your own IEP?
