Person Centered Planning and Website Portfolios in Action
Thursday December 5, 2024 9:00am - 12:00pm CST
2ND Floor - Foster 2
Are you feeling stuck? Are you looking for new tools to expand possibility for students & job seekers? This workshop offers hands-on practice using Person Centered Planning tools to develop Website Portfolios for students & job seekers. The goal is to get unstuck, here's how. We'll start with the best practice of Person Centered Planning. Attendees will practice using tools to expand on skills and contributions, integrating a strengths-based approach. We will dig deep to develop strategies for success in education and employment, and then think creatively about new possibilities.

Next, we'll explore how to use the information effectively. The second half of the workshop dives into creating website portfolios, which are dynamic resumes and marketing tools showcasing skills, experiences, and achievements. Attendees will set up accounts on Wix Tomorrow, a free platform for educators, and explore tools and editor functions, including generative AI, to develop a sample website. So kick off TASH with us and let the good times roll!

Empowering Adults with IDD and Caregivers Through Advance Care Planning
Thursday December 5, 2024 2:00pm - 5:00pm CST
2ND Floor - Foster 2
Advance care planning (ACP) involves preparing for future decisions about one’s medical care if one becomes seriously ill or unable to communicate. ACP helps people ensure that their healthcare preferences are respected, their care is tailored to their needs, and their rights are protected. It promotes dignity, autonomy, and person-centered care. 1 in 3 U.S. adults has advance directive documents, and even less in the Intellectual/Developmental Disabilities (IDD) community. This workshop aims to demystify ACP and facilitate its acceptance in the IDD community. By focusing on ACP in adults with IDD and their caregivers, this session will provide insights into ACP’s unique importance and opportunities in this community. Through interactive discussions and case studies, participants will learn about the ACP process and explore ways to overcome barriers. The workshop will include an opportunity for participants to engage in their own ACP in a session led by an industry expert.

Celebrate Together: Empowering Transitions with Student-Led IEPs!
Friday December 6, 2024 2:15pm - 3:10pm CST
3RD Floor - Ballroom: Celestin B
In this presentation, we advocate for student-led Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) for transition-age adults with intellectual disabilities (ages 18-21). Transitioning from school to adulthood is critical, and empowering these individuals to participate in their IEPs is essential. Research highlights the importance of self-determination, self-advocacy, and engagement for better outcomes in education, employment, and independent living. Our approach includes providing direct instruction for self-advocacy skills, fostering collaboration between students, families, educators, and community agencies, and enhancing communication to improve participation. The presentation includes a student from a post-secondary transition program who adopted a person-centered IEP approach.

Comparing Literacy Programs for Non-speaking Students with Extensive Support Needs
Friday December 6, 2024 2:15pm - 3:10pm CST
2ND Floor - Foster 2
In this pilot randomized controlled trial, we tested two reading curricula designed to teach early literacy skills to nonspeaking students—Early Literacy Skills Builder and Accessible Literacy Learning. Twenty-four participants were randomized to an ELSB, ALL, or control group, and we measured outcomes for all groups at 4 time points for phonological awareness, alphabet knowledge, and word reading. We used growth curve modeling to analyze our data. We found statistically significant effects for both ELSB and ALL compared to the control group on some outcomes, although ELSB outperformed ALL on most measures. We will report on effects of each intervention relative to each other and a control group, and share practical implications for practitioners.

Navigating Advocacy: Youth with Disabilities Share Their Experiences and Perspectives
Friday December 6, 2024 5:45pm - 7:15pm CST
3RD Floor - Storyville Hall
Self-advocacy is an essential component of transition planning for youth with disabilities. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA, 2004) mandates students with disabilities are included in transition planning to the greatest extent possible. Additionally, the Workforce and Innovation Act (WIOA, 2014) requires specific pre-employment transition services, one of which includes self-advocacy training. Despite federal requirements, youth with disabilities often report not being active members of their transition planning and self-advocacy is often tied to school and work-based settings. Our research team investigated self-advocacy experiences of transition-aged youth with disabilities through one-on-one interviews led by researches with and without disabilities. Key findings highlight youths’ advocacy experiences across settings, how they are empowered to advocate, and their suggested improvements to special education for other students with disabilities.

Supports for Students with Complex Needs in Grade-Aligned Lessons
Saturday December 7, 2024 10:00am - 11:00am CST
3RD Floor - Ballroom: Celestin G
Students with complex support needs are at risk of not receiving adequate personalized supports during grade-aligned instruction in general education. To ensure access to the general education curriculum and environment, special educators need expertise to provide effective supports to students with complex needs. This study examined what supports teachers assigned in response to a piloted intervention intended to help teachers better understand how to support students while maintaining grade-aligned learning. An analysis of 25 priority plans for K-12 students with complex support needs was conducted using a qualitative reflexive thematic approach. We found special education teachers undertake labor-intensive and creative preparation of supports in addition to bearing the primary responsibility of implementation. In addition, visual supports, peer supports, and systematic instruction practices were found to be widely used.

Creating Student-Designed Space For Non-Speaking/Minimally-Speaking Learners
Saturday December 7, 2024 11:15am - 12:15pm CST
3RD Floor - Ballroom: Celestin E
Nonspeaking and minimally-speaking learners are among the most marginalized students in school settings. Historically, students without spoken communication have been segregated to self-contained learning environments that offer students little to no choice in their education. While families and advocates still routinely have to fight for access, inclusion, and equity in schools, communities like ours have come together to build learning environments that meet the expressed needs of our nonspeaking and minimally-speaking students. By listening to and learning from these individuals, Reach Every Voice has designed multiple learning environments that our students describe as “a space created with disability celebrated [that] feels like a friend’s hug folding me in its warmth.” This presentation explores how communities around the nation have successfully designed learning environments driven by the voiced desires of their nonspeaking and minimally-speaking students.

Deciding What to Teach: Prioritizing Outcomes For Students with CSN
Saturday December 7, 2024 11:15am - 12:15pm CST
3RD Floor - Ballroom: Celestin A
To help teachers identify priority grade-aligned learning goals to be taught in general education settings for students with complex support needs, we developed a priority planning intervention and tested it with 41 teachers. We determined if the priority planning intervention changed teacher planning for inclusive academic instruction, identified the general education content teachers prioritized, assessed the social validity of the priority planning intervention, and measured the extent to which students learned prioritized goals when taught entirely in general education classrooms. Our findings revealed that teachers were more likely to develop instruction based on the general education curriculum after the intervention. Teachers developed primarily math, communication, and academic vocabulary goals. Students were successful in learning those prioritized goals when taught entirely in general education settings, and teachers reported the intervention was helpful and efficient.
