Description
Teachers know how to advocate for their students, but do students with disabilities have self-advocacy skills or know the importance of self-advocacy?
These self-advocacy books and activities for students with IEPs will be the perfect resource for elementary, middle school, and high school students to learn and practice self-advocacy skills.
Students typically begin learning about their IEPs at transition age, which is age 16 per the IDEA (and age 14 in some states). But it is never too early to teach students about themselves, their IEPs, and how to self advocate for their wants and needs. This bundle is intended to help you do just that – empower your students.
These books and activities can be used at home or at school.
Each book title comes with:
• Editable letter home to parents
• Adapted Book with comprehension test (digital + printable)
• IEP Reader – same content as Level 2 Adapted Book (digital + printable)
• 1 Extended Activity
Each adapted book and reader uses real pictures, enabling the books to be used with any age of student.
What titles are included?
- What is an IEP?
- What is a Disability?
- Parts of an IEP
- What is an IEP Meeting?
- Who is on My IEP Team?
- Why Do I Need an IEP?
- My Role in My IEP

- What Do I Do During My IEP Meeting?
- How to Set Goals
- What Are My Accommodations and Modifications?

Each book title comes with a letter to send home to parents, a printable and digital adapted book, a printable and digital reader, and an activity to further learning and self advocacy.

This is an amazing resource that both my students and their parents/guardians love. It makes it super easy to discuss their specific needs and help them understand why they are being pulled to small groups in the special education setting. I am able to use this with a wide range of learners with varying instructional levels.

Great for students heading off to high school.
Only issue is that Canadian/Ontario system differs so not all parts are relevant.

As a future teacher, my goal is to make sure my students are involved in their IEP processes, but I wasn’t sure where to begin. When I found this resource, I was so excited! I love that each book is adapted at different levels to accommodate all learners. I also can’t wait to use the supplemental activities and resources provided! I would absolutely recommend this for any age group!
