This resource focuses on educating students about their rights upon turning 18 years old, particularly within the framework of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). It outlines the concept of 'Age of Majority' – the legal age when individuals are considered adults and how their rights, specifically in the context of education, transfer from parents to themselves. Students will learn about key rights such as Prior Written Notice, Consent Requirements, Access to Records, Independent Evaluations, and Dispute Resolution. The document includes various activities such as vocabulary definitions, reflections on personal rights, and options to demonstrate understanding through creative projects like infographic creation and role-plays. Overall, this resource empowers students to advocate for their educational rights and take ownership of their future.
