In part 3 of this 5 part series on student voice and including students in their IEP process we dig into the middle school years, grades 5-8, ages 10-13ish. In this episode we discuss:
How to have conversations with your child / students about their disabilities and disabilities and learning differences in general
How to discuss with them what their IEP is, why they have it and getting their input on what is useful for them for learning and what isn't useful.
Getting student involved as early as possible about how they learn and how different students learn differently
How the conversation about learning and students' learning styles tends to drop off in the middle school years and why it's important to disrupt that trend
Strategies for opening up the conversation with the students, validating their visions for their future selves, and collaboration between home and school
Discussions and inputs about what accommodations are useful or not useful with students, including ones for state standardized testsHave questions or suggestions for including students 14-22 in their IEP meetings? Email us at [email protected]
