The VB-MAPP is a very helpful tool in providing a student's educational program with a comprehensive sense of direction.  But, of course, to use it you have to know how it works.

Here are three handouts that I've created to help in explaining the purpose and use of the assessment that I hope might be helpful for you.  Each includes a related presentation.
