Description
In Student led IEP meetings, the spotlight is on the most important person in the process: the student.
Students with IEPs attend their IEP meetings when it’s time for transition services, and that typically starts in middle school. But why aren’t we preparing our students for this when they are in elementary school? Why are they not involved sooner, and what about our students who are nonverbal or even moderately disabled? How can we get them involved, and what does it even look like?
Enter: Student Led IEP Meeting Toolkit. The only resource you need to get your students more involved in their learning and show the IEP Team (and most importantly the parents!) how much progress the child has made.
WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENTIATED LEVELS?
4 DIFFERENTIATED LEVELS OF STUDENT PORTFOLIOS.
• Level 1 – (independent) student copies the model
• Level 2 – student traces the model
• Level 3 – student cuts/pastes given text to fill in the blanks
• Level 4 – student cuts/pastes pictures to create sentences
WHAT IS INCLUDED?
• 4 Leveled Covers
• Editable Parent Invite letter
• Student Welcome Letter
• Student Portfolio
• Student Led Questions and Responses
• Thank You Letter (for students to send home after the meeting)
• Editable At Home Questions (for parents to use at home after the meeting)

This toolkit is an outstanding resource for empowering students to take ownership of their IEP meetings! The materials are clear, student-friendly, and thoughtfully designed to build self-advocacy and confidence. It made the process more meaningful for both students and staff. Highly recommend for any special education team looking to make IEPs more student-centered!

You guys! This resource is amazing! It is such a great tool for student led IEP meetings. Even when I had students that couldn’t attend the meeting (elementary level), we used this resource for them to create things to share with the parents. One student used the prompts while he recorded a video to share with his mom!

Thank you! I liked the varied levels of the resources. I wish there was an option for a cut/paste with the questions and answers for students who might not be attending the meeting/aren’t writers or readers yet but other than that – very helpful!

Liza Amurao –
I was looking for a way for my upper elementary ESE students to start learning how to advocate for themselves, and this was perfect. I prepped a sample packet and took it to my principal for approval to use, she cried. Thank you so very much for this resource, it’s allowed my students to take ownership of their abilities and advocate for their needs!
