It's Not Easy
 

Dr Jamie Van Dycke, a professor at Oklahoma State University, interviewed high school students across Oklahoma regarding their opinions about participating in their own IEP meeting. She developed the "It's Not Easy" automated PowerPoint slide to disseminate the results of her interviews. It demonstrates the importance of providing students the opportunity to actively participate in their IEP meetings.

To capture the full effect of this automated slide show, purchase the song titled "Superman (It's Not Easy)" recorded by Five for Fighting from their American Town album. This PowerPoint slide show is sequenced to begin when the song starts and it ends when the song finishes. If you purchase this song you will need to manually begin the song using I-Tunes or a similar music software program.

It's Not Easy Automated Slide Show

It's Not Easy is a great tool to demonstrate to educators and parents the importance of providing students the opportunity to actively participate in their own IEP meetings. Many teachers also use It's Not Easy with their students as a lead-in to being taught the Self-Directed IEP.

Dr. Van Dycke may be contacted by sending her an email at jamielv@okstate.edu.
