Empower Hour: Empowering Students in the ARD Process

Presented by Courtney Gregori & Judith LeBlanc

Join the Special Education Transition Team for a session dedicated to fostering self-determination through active student participation in ARD meetings. We will discuss practical strategies for students to transition from attendees to leaders, beginning with introducing committee members and progressing to providing direct input on their own goals and accommodations. By encouraging students to take ownership of their IEP, we empower them to develop the essential self-advocacy skills necessary for post-secondary success.
