Self-Advocacy in the IEP Process: Katie Dedrick

Stafford Public Schools Educator

“This photo is a brief snapshot of self determination through IMD in action! Jonathan created a presentation of his transition plan in which he pre-recorded his message and put a short clip on each slide. This presentation was used during his annual IEP meeting to guide the discussion and increase his confidence since he is typically very soft spoken and nervous during public speaking opportunities.”
