Name trusted supporters for each life area
When to use this goal
For students nearing the end of school who rely on one adult, often a parent or teacher, for every decision. Present levels in communication decide whether the map is written, drawn or built with photos.
- Baseline
- Ask the student to fill in the map without the contact list and score it. Note whether supporters named are real and reachable (a current phone or email), not only a name.
- Tips
- The map belongs to the student and goes home; families often add supporters the school does not know. Use it with tn-sd-008 so the named supporters are the ones the student practices deciding with. Add adult service contacts from fn-tr-014 as they become known.
- Limits
- Naming a supporter is not the same as using one. The map can go out of date quickly, so update it before each IEP meeting.
