Who is a Wildflower?

HERE!

Wildflowers are

Unique Learners!

Our learners may have distinctive

interests and strengths

They may learn best with creative

and alternative learning plans

They may thrive in small group

settings with like-minded peers

These learners often use their strengths to compensate for their learning difficulties or environmental overstimulation. If evaluated, these students may be identified as Twice Exceptional, or "2e" - intellectually driven children that also have learning disabilities

such as dyslexia, ADHD, or autism spectrum disorder.

These learners are often overlooked and under-identified to receive educational services. They may struggle in a traditional academic setting from lack of supports or understanding from staff and peers. Their unmet educational and social emotional needs lead to dysregulation at school and at home. This may look like:

Separation or social anxiety - not wanting to go to school
Exhaustion from masking their feelings to get through a day at school
Meltdowns at home after school
Oppositional behavior
Low frustration tolerance
Low self esteem or feeling different than peers
Lack of motivation for school due to boredom or lack of interest
