Learning Support

Soundview designs instruction and curriculum to make it accessible for all students.

Some students benefit from further intervention in the form of a Student Support Plan and/or enrollment in the Skills Collaborative program. The Student Support Plan is individualized and intended to focus on supports that will make it possible for the student to achieve sustainable ongoing success and well-being in the classroom.

Such accommodations might include, among other things:

  • Preferential seating, extra time to complete assessments/assignments

  • Removing consideration for certain aspects of written work (for example, neatness, handwriting, or spelling) in grading

  • More explicit teacher guidance and coaching on processes, deadlines, and expectations

  • Waiver from language

  • Incentive charts

  • Emotion regulation coaching

  • Structured breaks

  • Scheduled check-ins

  • Social skills groups with our counselor

Accommodations that Soundview is unable to provide might include, among other things:

One-on-one ongoing classroom instruction

Dictation services

Oral assessments

Use of an alternative curriculum

Soundview implements individualized Student Support Plans for students with academic or medical concerns documented through formal assessment. Interim plans can be established for students who are in the evaluation process.
