Success Story

Our SparkWheel Student Support Coordinator (SSC) was approached by the principal, counselor, teacher, and paraprofessional with their concern about *Micah, a new student, at the beginning of the school year.

 

Micah struggled to communicate with others and lacked social skills. He wasn’t particularly excited to come to school.

 

The SSC developed a plan to work with Micah and form a relationship. The SSC also encouraged school personnel to approach him one-on-one to form a more trusting relationship.

 

At first, Micah said little to no words and hardly showed any emotion. After a few one-on-one interactions with his SSC, teachers, and paraprofessionals, Micah started to show improvement in his communication, social skills, and academics.

 

He started to open up more and was able to have conversations with adults. The SSC also engaged with this student’s family to build a trusting relationship with them, too.

 

Micah is now much more excited to come to school.
