2. Supportive services for special
needs in the classroom
Supports are any services, strategies or
situations that may benefit your child in
school. When the child's IEP (Individualized
Education Plan) team meets—that's you,
your child's teacher, and school personnel
that may include the psychologist,
counsellor, and others—most of the
discussion will be about the kinds of
supports that can help the student.
3. Different children will require different
kinds of support to participate fully in school.
Some children need physical supports such as
help with personal care, changes in seating
arrangements, alternate forms of
communication (for children who do not
speak), and extra help to participate in
activities which would not otherwise be
possible.
