Support can be provided through a combination of teaching models including in-class support, small group pull-out instruction or Core Support classes, co-teaching, and one-on-one instruction as necessary. It is important to note that no formal Learning Support services are available at the high school level at this time. Concordia does not currently employ a Speech/Language Pathologist, Occupational or Physical Therapist, or Clinical or Educational Psychologist. While some of these supports can be provided on our campus through an outside service provider, they come at an additional cost to the family and Concordia is not responsible for the quality or range of support given through these services.
