Think about a time when you really wanted someone – a teacher – to know stuff about you but you really didn’t want to have to take the time and the words to explain it. Think about your IEP.  How long does it take for anyone to look at it and find out the important things about you? The One-Pager was created as a way to cut through all of that paper and get at the important stuff quickly and all on one page.

The One-Pager is a simple tool to help provide important information about you. The four sections that make up the One-Pager can be remembered easily by using the acronym SPIN:

You identify what goes in these sections (with assistance from parents, teachers, etc.) to introduce yourselves to new teachers, employers, case managers, and others in your support system to clarify your needs and goals based on your strengths and interests. Learn more about each of these sections by watching the videos below!
