Preparing for Adulthood


Prolific writer, Michelle Garcia Winner, is at it again!

Last week, Michelle posted an article on her website focused on our older students. The title of her article is, "Adults: Becoming Directors of Their Own Treatment Teams and Treatment Plans - Evolving ideas for working with adults and high school teams helping to prepare students for adulthood".

Ever the helpful person, Michelle's article includes tools that teams can use to move in the direction of having adults and older students more actively direct their treatment teams and plans. I have always been a big proponent of self-directed IEPs for ALL STUDENTS. The tools in Michelle's article will assist in accomplishing this goal. You may also use access the article and its tools through PDF format (more printer friendly), which is linked at the end of the document.
