Ashley's SSN Classroom
Creating a Brighter Future
ABOUT OUR CLASSROOM
Welcome to the 2019-2020 Northridge Elementary Significant Support Needs website! The SSN program is a cite-based classroom supporting students grades K-6. Students in the program require the most significant support to access the general education curriculum. We have a team of 7, myself and 6 amazing educational assistants, to help meet the needs of our students. Together we will make this year an exciting adventure, full of discovery and creativity for all.
CURRICULUM
How We Learn
Our story began in 1997 when speech-language pathologist Jacquie Clark discovered that there was nothing that taught current events for those with autism and other special needs, which led her to create News-2-You®, a weekly newspaper cultivating literacy with current and relevant news. As the way students learn evolved, so did n2y – transforming from print to digital to help individuals with special needs experience meaningful access to the world around them.
TRANSFORMING SPECIALÂ EDUCATION
n2y launched Unique Learning System®, an online standards-based program that provides students with meaningful access to the general education curriculum. Soon after, SymbolStix PRIME®launched, making available an online search engine and materials creation platform with the most complete and current symbol set available anywhere.
"How powerful would our world be if we had kids who were not afraid to take risks, who were not afraid to think, and who had a champion? Every child deserves a champion, an adult who will never give up on them, who understands the power of connection, and insists that they become the best that they can possibly be."
