Introducing Our New Special Education Resource Guide!
Many of you wonder what kind of accommodations, services, and supports you can request from your child’s school, especially when it comes to understanding the outcomes of epilepsy surgery. Schools might not always be up-to-date on how best to help students in this situation, so we’re excited to introduce our new Special Education Resource Guide!
This easy-to-use resource is a practical tool for parents, caregivers, and educators. It’s designed to help you navigate the world of school and learning post-epilepsy surgery. Inside this comprehensive spreadsheet, you’ll find:
- Detailed information on various assessments
- Specially designed instruction tips
- Lists of supplementary aids and services
- Guidance on related services and program modifications
- Essential supports for both home and school
All these resources are conveniently organized into different tabs, giving you everything you need in one place.
We’ve made this guide part of our School and Learning section on our website to ensure that families and school teams have the support they need to help students thrive. Whether you’re a parent seeking answers or an educator looking for ways to better support your students, this guide is here for you.
