Skills Collaborative
Learning Differences and Neurodiversity:
The Skills Collaborative
Soundview's Skills Collaborative provides specific, individualized support to a limited number of students with well defined learning differences. These students will be those that we believe we can assist in meeting the standards of the International Baccalaureate.
"Every child deserves an education that is ethical, rigorous, and compassionate." Soundview School
As an inclusive school, we embrace diversity by creating conditions where all feel welcome, safe, empowered, supported, fairly treated, and affirmed. Because educating internationally-minded students is inherent to our mission, we seek to provide opportunities that broaden our understanding of the variety of different ways people live and experience the world.
Educators are just beginning to understand the needs of neurodiverse students, just as educators are just beginning to understand the gifts that the neurodiverse have to offer. The educational environment for the neurodiverse is changing rapidly to a strength-based perception and Soundview is part of that change.
For more information regarding Soundview’s support of learning opportunities for the neurodiverse, please contact Chrissy Sinclair, Soundview Assistant Head of School, or Teresa Ledford, Skills Collaborative Coordinator and Teacher.
“When I was younger I was looking for this magic meaning of life. It’s very simple now. Making the lives of others better, doing something of lasting value. That’s the meaning of life, it’s that simple.” Dr. Temple Grandin
