Using AI & the 5F Model for Strengths-Based MTSS & IEPs: Meeting All the Needs
Presented by Dr. Claire Hughes, President of CEC-TAG
Tuesday April 7, 2026 4:30 p.m.
COURSE DESCRIPTION
In twice-exceptional education, the "strengths-based approach" often conflicts with an IEP process that focuses on weaknesses. This session will highlight the transformative 5F model for IEP/504/BIP development that uses positive educational strategies to develop strengths while mediating the impacts of disability. Practical strategies through the use of AI for crafting strengths-oriented assessments, PLAAFs, goals and accommodations will create educational plans that truly empower 2e students.
Invite a colleague from special education or the parent of a twice exceptional child to attend with you this month. We are stronger when we work together!
