Student-Directed Individualized Education Plan (IEP):
Bringing Person-Centered Practices to Schools and Beyond
Sep 29, 2020 | 2:00-3:30pm Eastern
The Individualized Education Program (IEP) is a cornerstone in planning and delivery of educational supports for students who are eligible for special education services. How can systems ensure that the IEP is truly person-centered? Ensuring that the student is directing and leading development and implementation of their IEP is a first step as the student develops their strengths and receives appropriate support. In this webinar, a panel of educational consultant, disability rights advocate, a student, and a parent undergoing transition will discuss strategies to make IEP meetings and implementation authentically person-centered and empowering for students and their families.

NCAPPS Technical Assistance:
Year Two Summary

Since the launch of NCAPPS in the spring of 2019, an important part of our work has been providing technical assistance to State agencies, Tribes, and Territories.

NCAPPS is currently providing 15 state teams with three years of technical assistance. A summary of the second year of technical assistance activities is now publicly available. That summary describes common themes among states’ Year Two goals; provides a brief outline of their activities to enhance person-centered thinking, planning, and practices; and provides examples of various products expected to result from the technical assistance.

“… when I focused on how do I meet the needs that I have, and what can I control, then I felt better… I can use person-centered planning strategies to look at the important things to me in my life, and how do I get those needs met."  -- Carole Starr
