Students with learning and attention differences are bright and talented, however, they process information differently than their typical peers. Despite having average to above average intelligence, they experience challenges with reading, writing, math, organization, or focus. Our team of knowledgeable intervention specialists are dedicated to helping learners on IEPs, 504 plans, or other accommodation plans thrive in the classroom and in life! 

 

Academics

St. Ed’s offers a full-inclusion approach for students with mild to moderate learning needs. Unlike a co-taught approach, students actively engage in traditional general education classes without modification to course content, requirements, or instruction. Leveled class placements within the general education environment support differing abilities. 

 

Accommodations

Many Edsmen qualify for accommodations. Classroom teachers are all well informed of their students’ needs, and accommodations are seamlessly integrated into the classroom experience. Accommodations can range from extra time on tests to preferential seating, text read aloud, digital tools, and more.

 

Intervention

Outside of general education classes, intervention specialists work with small groups of students in the Aimée and Daniel Andrews ‘86 Learning Lab. Support is offered in the following areas:

• Specially-designed instruction in mathematics, reading, writing, organization, task management, and social skills

• Speech and language services

• Academic check-ins

• Counseling sessions

• Post-secondary planning

• Academic, emotional, and functional assessments through the school psychologist

• Testing accommodations

 

Tutoring and homework help is also available for the entire student body.

 

St. Edward High School is a provider of the Ohio Department of Education Jon Peterson Special Needs Scholarship.
