Irene, a bright and creative student who is extremely shy, had taken a while to bloom in her current classroom \u2013 her teacher said she didn't hear Irene speak for the first 6 months of the school year! Irene\u2019s counselor was concerned about finding a high school with the special education services Irene might need and that, without the right supports, she would feel overwhelmed and fall further behind her peers.\r\n\r\nWith support from an AFC advocate, Irene\u2019s aunt began to research possible schools in their area but couldn\u2019t find anything that would be a suitable fit. AFC recommended that Irene undergo a neuropsychological evaluation, which confirmed that a smaller special education class would be the best school setting for Irene, to help support not only her language disorder and learning disabilities, but also her anxiety and emotional needs.\r\n\r\nArmed with this evaluation, Irene\u2019s aunt and their AFC advocate began to look at state approved Non-Public Schools that provide tailored support. When Irene and her advocate visited one of the schools, Irene initially spoke so softly that her aunt had to interpret for her. However, after a tour and a conversation with the principal, both her aunt and advocate were surprised and thrilled to see Irene come completely out of her shell and speak passionately about her desire to someday become a preschool teacher.","":null,"settings":""}},{"acf_fc_layout":"layout_pull_quote","_acfe_flexible_toggle":"","component_pull_quote":{"":null,"quote":"It was really empowering,\u201d remembers her AFC advocate. \u201cBecause she felt comfortable, she could speak up for herself and her needs and talk about what she\u2019s looking for in her education.","cite":"","settings":{"":null,"settings":["disable-top-padding","disable-bottom-padding"]}}},{"acf_fc_layout":"layout_wysiwyg","_acfe_flexible_toggle":"","component_wysiwyg":{"content":"Irene was accepted at the school, where she\u2019s now in a small class with peers who have similar needs and learning styles, and Irene\u2019s aunt reports that she\u2019s already more confident: every day, her niece comes home and shares what she\u2019s learning and how her day went, when she used to come home from school tired and withdrawn.","":null,"settings":""}}],"relationships":{"":null,"topic":[28],"misc_topics":[198]},"misc":{"disable_sticky_helpbar":false,"search_results":{"":null,"excerpt":"","featured_image":""}},"component_slide":{"":null,"image":12670,"custom_tag":"","kicker":"Irene's Story","title":"With support from an advocate, shy Irene was able to open up.
