197 Tools in a Toolbox: Kolbe Academy's Student Support Services

AMDG.  Children don’t come with instruction manuals, so having resources to help road map out various challenges can benefit everyone in a family.  In this episode, Karen Allgood and Krysten Pizzurro join Bonnie and Steven to describe the vast array of services available through Kolbe’s student support services and special education offerings.  They describe the individualized attention they provide and the confident communication they foster in situations where families may be uncertain they can fulfill a child’s need.  They also touch on the importance of documentation and accommodations, the concerns about being labeled or just needing to try harder, and the importance of the fact that each child is exactly how God willed him or her to be.  Helpful links  Student Support Services page on the Kolbe website  Student Support Services webinar  2024 Schoolwide Address, including information about the new Foundations courses  Information about Kolbe’s financial aid options  Kolbe’s testing services  Related Kolbecast episodes  196 Adaptable Asynchonous & Dynamic Digital Homeschool Options  145 Subsidiarity, Support, and Resources  140 Burnout Happens  188 Challenges as Opportunites with Dr. Kevin Majeres  We’d be grateful for your feedback!
