The Ithaca City School District special education department has gathered some resources to support our students with the challenge of distance learning at home during the school closure. Click here and you will find social narratives to support understanding around the school closure and COVID-19. Additionally, there are visual supports, such as sample visual schedules, choice boards, and first-then boards, to provide structure and pacing in a home-based learning environment.
