When a student’s progress plateaus, it doesn’t mean you’re out of options—it means it’s time to pivot.

The Student Support Toolkit is your ready-to-use resource for planning next steps when a student with a disability is not making progress. Whether you’re working on IEP goals, modifying classroom instruction, or collaborating with your team, this toolkit helps you stay proactive and strategic without starting from scratch.
 
Designed for special education teachers who support students with significant cognitive disabilities, this resource offers the structure and language you need to problem-solve, document, and implement new strategies with confidence.
 
What’s Included:
✅ Reflection Questions & Notes Page – Identify what's working, what's not, and what barriers may exist.
✅ Go-To Modifications List – Quick instructional tweaks that don’t lower expectations.
✅ Classroom Supports Menu – Visual reminders of supports you can embed into any lesson.
✅ Support Planning Sheet – Plan intentional changes and how you’ll measure success.
