- The adjustments we make in the school
vary depending on the child's needs.

We have a nice collection of
sensory toys in particular
that we find
our students really require
and need for sensory breaks.

In terms of educational adjustments,
the IEPs are really
great in establishing a set of goals.

Each teacher is trained really well
in how to have a smart goal
that is specific for that child
and achievable for that child.

- So for a student in my class,
with adjusting a task.

So if we're telling a story
we'd actually bring the puppets out
and the different things.


We'd listen to the story and
then we'd retell the story
with the puppets.

And then
he or she would have a go
at retelling the story.

And then from that, the
teacher would model a sentence,
cut it up,
and um,
they'd be able to read the words back
and then get into the writing mode.

With one student in my class
at the start of the year,
oral/verbal skills were
challenging.

Couldn't get a conversation out.

The child was getting
frustrated with that.

So we'd use a visual
thing where they can say

"I want" and there's
lots of options for them.

They'd use the pictures and they can
pull them off and move them around.

That child can now come up and
use their oral skills to say
I would like this, and
put it into a sentence.

- Each class has an open door policy
so parents are able to
come in in the morning
or in the afternoon for informal chats.

We also use Seesaw as a digital portfolio
where parents can get direct messages
of what their children are
currently doing in the classroom
through photos and
videos, some work samples.

And it's also message system.
So in regards to the NCCD and adjustments,
families really want to know that
the needs of their children are being met.

And that's really
important for all families
and for all children.
