When to use this goal

For older students who are ready to take part in their IEP meeting and explain the AT they use. Present levels in self-advocacy decide fit.

Baseline
Score a practice explanation with the rubric. Ask the student which parts of the meeting they want to lead.
Tips
Student-led IEP practice builds self-determination. The student chooses how to present (speech, slides, video).
Limits
IEP meetings happen rarely, so practice meetings carry most of the data. The AT specialist and team choose the tool from an AT assessment and trial data; the template measures what the student does with it, not the tool's quality.
