There could be a new area this fall at McKinley Elementary School in Ottawa that would help students with learning disabilities. The school board approved seeking bids for a sensory/instructional area at last week’s meeting.
Director of Special Services Jeremy Lambe says the classroom would have special learning tools for those students. He says it would allow teachers to control the environment with different lighting and sensory tools to help them learn.
He says the room could be completed by the fall. He says to be a top notch program the school needs to have an area where teachers can change the environment to help students learn.
This is the full interview with Dr. Lambe with some extra information about the area.
