COVID-19 has had a tremendous impact on our students with learning and emotional struggles. Students come to my office because of recognized difficulties in class and on campus. Many of these students have learning, behavioral and emotional disabilities.
Students work with me to identify what is difficult and then be given the tools and strategies to cope daily.
These tools are not always "one size fits all" due to the complexity and differences that they are experiencing. For example, students with reading struggles will be provided with color overlays, and guidelines or OCR readers to assist with reading disabilities or dyslexia. Those who struggle with ADHD may benefit from yoga ball chairs and core building stools. The goal is to provide these types of tools or resources that will hopefully give these students the opportunity to have equal access to their learning.
Since returning back to campus, the COVID-19 epidemic has thrown these students into situations that they are trying to tackle both learning struggles but also how to deal with situations both at home and school which have been seriously impacted by this unfortunate situation that we are slowly recovering from. The students are also learning how to develop new relationships in new environments. They are re-learning and trying to gain trust in their peers, teachers, and counselors in school. Students who are struggling to communicate or need concrete examples of social behaviors may benefit from the social stories.
Please help support our students with some of the tools to encourage them to become successful and thrive in school.
More than half of students from low‑income households
