The Approach
Asset-Based.
Disabilities are not problems to be fixed. Doing things βforβ students is ineffective. The student is at the forefront of everything: as a collaborator and participant in their goal setting and skill development.
Wraparound and Customized.
Services for students and families must be individually tailored.
Builds key skills and self-knowledge.
The student should be involved in the entire IEP process and receive explicit instruction about their own cognitive profile, life skills, and self-advocacy.
