Whether it is a comfortable couch for reading, a circular desk for collaborative work inside or outside the classroom, or students own unique quiet area in the classroom with just their chair, students at Sagonaska find alternative spaces to learn.
For students with learning disabilities, using alternative learning spaces is essential to limit distractions, but also to put students in situations where they need to focus independently on their learning goal. The sense of choice students have in their learning environment gives them flexibility when using many types of resources (i.e. assistive tech., manipulatives for math) with greater ease.
