Self-Advocacy Strategy
The Self-Advocacy Strategy helps students prepare for and participate in education or transition planning conferences. Students learn to determine and list their perceived strengths, areas in which they need to improve or learn, education and transition goals, needed accommodations, and more. They then use steps of the strategy to share their lists during conferences, listen and respond to others, ask questions, and communicate their goals.
SIM Mnemonic Learning Devices used in this Strategy: IPLAN - Students use this memory tool during student-led conferences, such as Individualized Education Program (IEP) meetings, to guide their communication and self-determination.
