This is an important topic for everyone involved in the IEP process and helps student’s to learn how to advocate for themselves and what they will need to do in order to grow and mature.
Emily, this is something often overlooked and I’m so glad to see some conversation on this topic. Social Workers are often the people needed to get the youth to open up and they are not always the IEP or Child Study member present in these meetings. Thank you for shedding light on such an important topic.
It’s really disheartening to hear how uninvolved some children with IEPs are with their own education, at no fault of their own. The IEP statistics really jumped out to me. I think that this is a great presentation that highlights an issue that I don’t think is often talked about in special education. I also agree with Penelope in that by encouraging the student’s involvement with their IEP, the student can further develop their independence.
Wonderful presentation and poster, Emily. I especially liked your discussion of the RISE program and the need for more student involvement in IEP process. Good discussion of social work interventions and connection to the Grand Challenges of Social Work and Society.
