The Visual One Page Profile Lesson provides materials with extensive visual supports for students to make their own One Page Profile. The lesson plan and materials were created by Becky Wolf of Clackamas ESD. The lesson is designed to be taught over several days.

A One Page Profile captures all the important information about a person on a single sheet of paper under three simple headings: what people appreciate about me, what’s important to me and how best to support me. The One page profile helps us build better relationships with providers by sharing what truly matters for you.

Students can make a One Page Profile to share important information with teachers, vocational rehabilitation counselors, services coordinators, personal agents, personal support workers, etc.

Pro Tip: Please keep in mind that a One Page Profile can be anything that shares important information about you. Feel free to download the templates below for your students. However, if your students feel creative, feel free to have them make their own one page profiles! Download the three examples below, they all are very different examples of what a One Page Profile can look like!
