My neighbor's daughter has met with much greater success in school since she started spending one hour a day in a resource room. Would it help my child? - Wondering
Answer: At most schools, the resource room is usually a separate room where children with special needs can receive the assistance they need to handle regular classroom work. The amount of time spent in the resource room varies with the individual needs of the children. Unless your daughter has been evaluated by her school and found to need specialized assistance, it would be impossible for her to be assigned to such a resource room.
The term "resource room" is also used less commonly to describe a room with special resources that students can use to enhance their study of a particular subject, such as math or science. In this case, the room will be filled with all types of materials to explore, from hands-on objects to books and videos. Generally, this type of resource room is an exciting place for students to visit, and it could definitely increase your child's interest in learning more about a particular subject.
