Centering the voices of elementary students with disabilities from Florida, we will present a study exploring how these students understand special educator effectiveness. We will explore how, though teachers took very different approaches, students centered five common dimensions in their discussion of effectiveness. We will also discuss how we elicited student perspectives, to support teachers and school leaders with their own efforts to elicit the perspectives of children with disabilities.
