TreeHouseAdvocacy - Creating A Vision Dare To Dream

In general the intent of the IEP Vision Statement is:

to reflect the thinking of the entire Team (including the parent and the student),

to look forward to future goals of the student,

to represent high expectations and dreams for the student, and

to be reflective of federal requirements for transition aged youth.

This is the only place that long-term goals for your child are stated.The IEP Team works with the student and family to develop a vision tailored to the student's preferences and interests. This vision provides a common foundation for dialogue for the student, family, and educators. It helps the IEP Team focus on the whole child and his or her strengths and needs in the long term.

*(In Massachusetts, the vision is for 5 years into the future.)

Vision Statement: What is the vision for this student?

Consider the next 1 to 5 year period when developing this statement. Beginning no later than age 14,

the statement should be based on the student’s preferences and interest, and should include desired outcomes in adult living, post-secondary and working environments.

Does your "Vision Statement" state what you see your child doing in 1-5 years into the future?
Does this include your long term goal for your child (Your dreams, your hopes)?
