Multiple Choice

Which of the following is NOT listed as a strategy to assist families, school personnel, and community members?

Strategies that involve families, school personnel, and community members focus on building collaboration, planning, and real-world exposure to support the student’s growth. Career exploration helps families and educators discuss options and set goals for the student’s future. Job shadowing or work experiences give hands-on insight into different roles and help the school and community plan opportunities. Mentoring programs create supportive connections that extend beyond the classroom and into the broader community, aligning resources to assist the student. Training in compensatory skills, while essential for the student’s independence (such as cane travel, Braille, or assistive technology use), targets the individual’s abilities rather than equipping the family, school, or community to support them. That’s why it isn’t listed as a strategy for assisting families, school personnel, and community members.
