All Ours Inclusion Symposium 26
Tuesday June 16, 2026 12:40pm - 1:55pm AKDT
DESCRIPTION:
This interactive session explores how to make Individualized Education Program (IEP) meetings more meaningful, student-centered, and empowering by increasing student voice and participation. Educators will learn practical strategies to prepare students to take an active role in sharing their strengths, preferences, and goals during IEP meetings. Through modeling, discussion, and planning tools, participants will walk away ready to implement student-led IEP practices that foster self-advocacy, confidence, and ownership of learning and future planning.

OBJECTIVES:
1. Define what a student-led IEP is and explain its importance in promoting self-advocacy and student agency.
2. Identify strategies and scaffolds for eliciting student voice before and during IEP meetings.
3. Develop tools or prompts that support students in sharing their strengths, needs, preferences, and postsecondary goals.
4. Plan next steps for integrating student-led IEP practices within their own classrooms, transition services, or district systems.
