Parent Training Modules
The ASPIRE training videos are a series of modules to provide parents with information about their student’s participation in the ASPIRE program. They are designed to be used when on-site parent training is not possible or the parent cannot attend the parent training. Each module focuses on different aspects of ASPIRE that a parent may need to know in order to partner with the school to provide their student with the best experience in the program. ASPIRE is a student-led IEP initiative that provides the student with the opportunity to develop self-determination skills. Self-determination skills are a combination of attitudes and abilities that lead students to set goals for themselves, take the initiative to reach these goals and make their own choices.
Below is a brief description of the content of each module, which will give parents flexibility to choose the order and/or modules that will provide them with the information that will be to their benefit. Parents can print the corresponding PowerPoints to use during the viewing of the videos or at their leisure.
