Services
At Sevi's Smile all services are delivered with an intent to preserve relationships.  The intent of offering an  "outside" perspective is never to "catch" someone doing something wrong but to build capacity between all team members in support of student growth. ​
Educational Support for Parents
Due to the changes in our current world so many of us are turning to online resources to address our daily needs.  Yet, we know, that many of our students with learning challenges are not always able to access and make meaning of content online, without high levels of adult support.
 
To meet the continued needs of our students with Working Memory challenges, including students with Down syndrome, autism, and other learning challenges, or just students who need a new approach, Sevi’s Smile is proud to offer its newest service Parent Educational Support. 
 
This service allows Parents/ Caregivers to sign-up for a 30-minute online session of support for ideas of how to address ongoing educational goals for students who learn differently.  These goals can be based on content that the student was working on before the disruption of school, parent goals, or new ideas based on online collaboration. 
 
Whenever possible, these ideas will be framed in the context of games or natural daily life activities to increase the possibility of parents and caregivers being able to implement these strategies into daily life, offering our students the repetition that so many of them need in order to learn new skills without giving rise to boredom, which may disrupt future learning. 
Accessible Planning for Educators
Educators will learn how to think through issues of accessibility or those who struggle to learn, following Distance Learning Programs as part of the planning process, rather than after the fact.  This shift in thinking will save time and resources for Educators and parents, and increase engagement of all students during these challenging times. 

Following the principles of Universal Design for Learning (UDL), and taking various learning strengths and styles into account, Sevi’s Smile will partner with Educators, by offering Virtual support to increase capacity for addressing Lesson Planning using this approach.  

Educators provide the curricular content, and the abilities and strengths of students and Sevi’s Smile will work bring ideas to differentiate expectations for the delivery of instruction, engagement of students with instruction, and demonstrating student learning, as well as support an ongoing shift in thinking to increase perspective and implement these concepts into all future learning opportunities.
Parent Coaching
As parents of children with learning needs, we enter a world for which we receive no training.  Sevi's Smile offers support and information to families to help you learn the tools you need to navigate this new world on your own. 

Customized Parent Coaching is available to meet your unique needs but typically is offered as an individual family coaching session, group workshop or observation of your child at school, followed by a report of recommendations. (Please note: face-to- face observation is currently on hold, though all other supports are currently available.)

Professional Development
Precious little, if any, time is given for educators to do the research and discover new information that they can consider in refining their own practice and build their own skills.  Though the desire may be present, educators may not even know where to search for this information that would support them in reaching each child effectively. 
 
Sevi’s Smile is able to save educators the time of searching and will bring information based on the latest research and best practice right to your program so that educators can get started building their capacity for each student today.
 
Sessions are customizable but a "most- requested" topic list is available upon request.

Student Supports
Students learn when their unique learning style is incorporated into what they are taught.  Sevi's Smile will work with your child to determine the types of learning activities that best meet with their learning style. 

Student Supports are typically offered either as tutoring for material being presented in school or as focus on a specific area that the school may not be covering or that needs to be addressed in a different way, such as learning to read, phonics development or developing a firm foundation of number.

This services is currently being delivered as Educational Supports for Parents.
Inclusion Specialist Support
Sevi’s Smile is available to observe students in their general education setting and offer an outside perspective based on experience, research, and best practice.  Written reports summarizing the observation and recommendations for IEP team consideration are provided as part of this service. 

Professional Development and ongoing support is also available to ensure capacity building for the student in accessing their general education environment, as well as for the educators who work with that student.

Services will resume as soon as face- to- face schooling, once again, becomes available.
