SST7 is excited to announce the 2025 Regional Recognition of Students with Disabilities and the Educators Who Serve Them. Nominated students and educators will be invited to attend the Family Engagement Recognition Day (FERD) all-day virtual event on Tuesday, May 13th. This Professional Development Day will feature Family Engagement speakers and a celebration for all nominees.
In addition, SST7 will select one student nominee for the State R.A. Horn Outstanding Achievement Award and one educator nominee for the State Franklin B. Walter Outstanding Educator Award.They will be submitted to the Ohio Coalition for the Education of Children with Disabilities (OCECD) for their State recognition luncheon that usually occurs in June.
State winners will be announced during the all-day virtual FERD event.
This year, the application process will be different. Instead of filling out a Google Document or filling the application out by hand, we are streamlining the process via Google Forms.
Each nomination will require essay responses with the ability to upload data and documentation. In addition, you will need to upload pictures and release forms of all nominees on the Google Form.
