Using reading comprehension strategies, the basics of math, organizing writing ideas and scientific theory are examples of general concepts used to support what each student is learning in that area.
Providing study guides for Students
Study guides will be provided for each subject prior to a test, based on written accommodations for the student
Timers
Timers will be used for transition from different activities to help students stay on task, and to promote independence.
