We're Here To Help: Virtual Learning Resources

03/16/2020 - 2:59 pm |

WSA Staff

We understand that school closures and social distancing can be hard for kids to understand, and difficult for caregivers who are suddenly in the role of “teacher.”  

To support you and the children you care for, the WSA has created a website with educational resources and curriculum ideas for Pre-K through grade 12. All of the suggested sites have been curated by our education consultant for quality and ease of use. Resources are separated by topic.

  • The “parents only” section includes resources explaining mandated service provisions for special times like this, as well as social stories to use and customize to explain to your children what's going on. 
  • The “educators only” section includes the learning profile for students with WS and additional special resources.

Please note that your children with WS may still need accommodations such as word prediction, speech to text, and screen readers to complete some tasks – don’t hesitate to ask a question if you need help with accommodations. 

We hope you find these resources helpful.  Please feel free to contact us for additional support if needed.

Position on Inclusion

The WSA upholds the following positions on inclusion. We believe that: 

  • everyone benefits when individuals with WS are meaningfully included in educational, work, and community settings 
  • individuals with WS should receive all necessary supports and services to fully participate in their family lives, communities, and society as a whole
  • high expectations should be the norm, and individuals with WS and their families should decide how they best learn, work, and enjoy social settings
  • “inclusion” is not one-size-fits-all, and will look different for each family based on each individual’s desires and needs
  • inclusion creates a sense of belonging in society, meaningful relationships, and opportunities to achieve dreams
