Pray for School
National
For proper programs for students with disabilities; that the Lord would bring clarity
from any confusion
For innovative ways to serve special needs students while keeping costs down
For a system of accountability for the programs for special education students
For the process of identifying students with disabilities
For development of programs for students who fall in the gray areas and who are not really getting what they need
District
That the administrators would select good workshops to equip classroom teachers to meet the special needs of the students
That the workshops would reflect godly principles
That appropriate programs would be available for all special needs students in the district; that the programs would help these children develop to their fullest potential
Local
That the teachers would properly modify curriculum to meet the unique needs of
each student
For a spirit of unity between parents and teachers so the student’s needs will be met
For proper training to equip teachers to help these students
That teachers would not get frustrated when a child cannot do things as quickly as others
That teachers would concentrate on the student’s strong points and not their weaknesses
That teachers will have patience; that their speech would be loving and gracious
That the diagnosticians would have insight into the needs and abilities of the students they are testing; that they would schedule evaluations for students at appropriate times; that it would be a good day for the students; that students would be healthy and alert
That the diagnosticians will be open to parents’ input
That students will not be unnecessarily medicated
Elementary Level
For early diagnosis; that the teachers would have insight into the children who are
struggling with their work and be willing to talk to the parents about help for these children
That each student receives an accurate diagnosis and admission into the
appropriate program
That parents would not deny any learning differences
Secondary Level
That students who have slipped through undiagnosed would get the help they need from an attentive teacher
For positive friendships for the children so they would not be drawn into the wrong group
For transitional services for those who cannot handle college education
For wisdom for the counselors and other professionals who work with these students |
