So varied in nature - it's not just for the students who will need residential and community support, life skills, supported employment
Purpose is to help students take over the reigns and be self determined and that they understand that IEP is no longer something that other people have control over, they have control, they are responsible, and they begin to show choice and voice in their educational decision making
