Students and families should feel valued, respected, and involved in the student’s journey to adulthood.

  • Encourage students to take an active role in the planning process, aligning their decisions with their goals
  • Build trust and foster meaningful collaboration through respectful interactions with families
  • Tailor services to meet the unique needs and preferences of students and families
  • Teach and support students to develop self-determination skills to effectively voice their goals
