As local educational agencies (LEAs) across the state work toward creating access to a high school diploma for students with extensive support needs, many questions have surfaced regarding how to make this a reality. Join this presentation where you will learn about and leave with a new toolkit designed to help LEAs move through the steps and considerations necessary to create and continue to improve this new pathway to a high school diploma for students with disabilities who are eligible to take the California Alternate Assessments.

Join us for an exclusive introduction to this essential resource, designed to help you track California's State Performance Plan Indicators for special education. The IDC offers a wealth of report options, enabling you to monitor critical indicators like Least Restrictive Environment, suspension rates, and timely assessments. With its user-friendly tools, you can create custom snapshot reports, providing a closer look at your LEA’s performance on these key indicators. Stay informed and take action with the IDC—your gateway to understanding and improving special education outcomes!
In this session, participants will explore strategies, tools, and best practices for increasing accessibility district-wide. Accessibility is more than just compliance; it’s about creating an inclusive environment where every student can thrive. Join us as we delve into the resources, materials, and tools for implementing Universal Design for Learning, Assistive Technology (AT), and Augmentative Alternative Communication (AAC) and how they can be effectively executed across all levels of your district. Participants will learn practical approaches to remove barriers, adapt teaching methods, and provide multiple means of engagement, representation, and expression. Through real-world examples and collaborative discussions, participants will leave with actionable insights and a toolkit filled with resources for transforming their district into a more accessible and inclusive community. Whether you’re just beginning this journey or looking to deepen your district’s commitment to accessibility, this session will provide the tools and inspiration needed to unlock the full potential of every learner.
