Supporting the Nerinx Mission Through the Learning Consultant Program
Qualifications for Accommodations
Students with a diagnosis made by a qualified professional that significantly impacts their education (i.e. academic failure or significant struggle) may qualify for support from the program. A comprehensive educational evaluation and/or an IEP or ISP from within the last 3 years is the most holistic and helpful information we use to guide the process of creating a student's Learning Profile.
More on Accommodations
Accommodations provide equal learning access to those with diagnosed disabilities without altering the intended learning goals. Reasonable accommodations are determined in collaboration with the student, her Learning Consultant, and parents after the documentation and evaluation is reviewed to ensure strong support.
Current Examples of Accommodations
- Extended time on in-school tests in the Testing Center
- Note-taking assistance
- Preferential seating
- Breaking up directions and long-term assignments
- Checking early and often for understanding
- Allowing frequent breaks
