LD/ADHD services<br />
We believe that intellectual and cognitive diversity enriches our campus<br />
community. We welcome students from a broad spectrum <strong>of</strong> learning<br />
pr<strong>of</strong>iles and provide resources that allow students to contribute fully to<br />
our school.<br />
O’Dowd LD/ADHD services are designed to support students with documented learning<br />
disabilities and/or attention deficit through a team-based approach. A full-time specialized<br />
counselor coordinates LD/ADHD services. Prior to the start <strong>of</strong> ninth grade, the counselor<br />
meets with each student and family to create an Educational Care Plan outlining student<br />
strengths, relative weaknesses and accommodations to the educational environment.<br />
accommodations include:<br />
• Preferential seating<br />
• Extended time on teacher-designed assessments and assignments<br />
• Use <strong>of</strong> laptop/computer for written output<br />
• Text-to-speech resources (e.g. audio files <strong>of</strong> books)<br />
our ld/adhd services encompass:<br />
• An interface for close collaboration between students, their families and the school<br />
• Design and documentation <strong>of</strong> appropriate and feasible accommodations<br />
• Referrals and consultation regarding psycho-educational and related evaluations<br />
• Facilitation <strong>of</strong> requests for accommodations on standardized tests such as the<br />
SAT or ACT<br />
• Support and counseling for the application and transition process to college<br />
