Lesson Overview

17.47 – Talking to Your IEP or 504 Team About Emotions: Your IEP or 504 plan isn’t only about academics—it’s also about emotional accessibility. Prepare by listing what emotional triggers affect your learning, like anxiety or sensory overload. Share examples of strategies that help you calm down during class. Ask for emotional check-ins or flexible seating as needed. Use clear, respectful language that shows self-awareness. Teams appreciate students who can articulate their needs directly. Your input guides them to create accommodations that truly fit you. Speaking up during these meetings turns your plan into a living document of support. Advocacy here builds lifelong confidence to manage both school and life challenges.
