Getting the information and support

• Research the student-led IEP process and data that is available with online sources.
• Practice explaining the steps and benefits of the student-let IEP process.
• Be aware that it may seem new or ‘scary’ to have the student involved in the IEP process.(It is fine to feel this way!)
• Embrace the opportunity for them to learn to self-advocate and speak up for themself.

Realigning the mindset

• Realize that any child of any age can do something in the IEP process. Their practice using advocacy skills in school will help them succeed in the future.
• Any student of any ability and skill can learn to play a part in the IEP process.
• Remember that using the SLIEP process can be a tool for student growth and development.
• Give the student the chance to build real world, transition skills in safe and supported environment.
