Special Services Program
The Special Services Program is a supplement to our Teacher Review Program to help families who have children with special needs. Families who sign a special needs student up in our Special Services Program are paired with a Special Services Consultant who will:
- Provide them with the same consultation services as in our Teacher Review Program.
- Adapt the curricula to the student's particular special needs.
- Provide additional consultations if needed or desired.
In the Special Services Program the family has a Special Services Consultant assigned to them as their family's Educational Consultant. The Special Services Consultant will provide them with consultation services as part of our Teacher Review Program. But the Special Services Consultant will also help the family in designing a program suited to their special needs child, implementing this curriculum, and offering helpful tips on homeschooling a special needs child. Parents are provided with 8 hours of consultation time with their Special Services Consultant; and as part of this time the consultant is also available to evaluate the student's work. If more than 8 hours of consultation time is needed, the family can pay for additional consultation time. Students in our Special Services Program are also eligible for various graduation options (see below).
Mother of Divine Grace School's Special Services Consultants are homeschooling mothers. They have broad experience working with children with special needs and have received extensive training in our methodology and the adaption of our curriculum and goals to the student, so that they can assist families in using our methodology with all students regardless of their special needs. Our Special Services Consultants have worked with students with a variety of learning disabilities including ADD, ADHD, auditory processing, dysgraphia, dyslexia, neurological and learning processing, reading, speech, vision, writing and motor skills. They have worked with students with a variety of behavioral issues including anxiety, attachment disorder, bi-polar, depression, emotional disorder, extreme defiance, OCD, pervasive development disorder, scrupulousness, and social disorder. They have worked with a variety of students with aspergers, autism, down syndrome, and mild to severe mental retardation, and sensory integration disorder. They have also helped students who have suffered abuse, alcohol and drugs related issues, allergies, disease (particularly cancer), divorced or single parent homes, dysfunction, physical impediments and stress. And they have worked with gifted students, particularly in the area of math.
