Because your child deserves what they need from day one, not after things fall apart.
Kids with big feelings and big behaviours do not thrive on “let’s see how it goes.” This session offers practical advice and advocacy for helping school support your child, what to tell the teacher (and others) and things to have in place, plus a short template you can send that will actually get read.
We’ll discuss:
how to help educators better understand your child
ideas for support that’s realistic to implement from day one
any questions you have about best setting for your child up for success this year.
This is part of our Back-to-School Workshop Series. Each session tackles a challenge that tends to blow up early in the school year. You’ll leave with clear ideas, fillable tools you can share with your child’s school, and, most importantly, a plan.
What to expect:
Free, online, and confidential (not recorded, small groups)
Cameras optional, participation not required, questions welcome
Includes handouts you can fill in and share with your child’s school
Option to book a free 1:1 follow-up chat with Jacqui in the three days after each session
Daytime and evening options
Who’s running this?
The Huddle for Families director, Jacqui Robbins. I’ve studied child development and been a special educator for 30 years. I’ve also been the parent sitting in the meeting, panicking and feeling frustrated. I’ve written the IEPs and led the meetings. I’ve also raged in the car after listening for 45 minutes to how awful my kid is and how little people seem to be able to help. These sessions are built on what I know works (and absolutely does not) for real life kids and families, and already-overwhelmed teachers in real life schools.
