Special Services At-Home Learning Resources and Support

The resources listed below are intended to provide our students with meaningful activities related to their special needs and to help the adults in their homes during this time of At-Home learning. We encourage and recommend that our students and their families explore these additional resources and use those they find helpful for addressing their individual needs.

At-Home Learning is a new experience for everyone and may bring up needs that we did not expect for our students who have disabilities. Please contact your student’s special education teacher or their campus if you have questions. When you need our support, we are here to help. paw print

SHARPEN: Free Mental Health Resources for College Students
from Sharpen Colleges App

In response to university and student feedback around the COVID-19 pandemic, Sharpen Health is offering its Sharpen Colleges app for free until the 2020 fall semester to students directly and through universities.

Sharpen Health collaborates with licensed mental health providers to provide students self-help information, techniques, and guidance in a safe environment. Sharpen Colleges content is offered in the voices and perspectives of students themselves.

Sharpen provides tools for self-help and psychoeducation. It does not replace the importance of a counselor. The app connects students to a library of evidence-based psycho educational content, national sites, and links for crisis support, and vetted COVID resources.
