Back to School

It's that time of year again.  Schools are starting up and for the student with disabilities it can be an abrupt change of routine.  The whole experience of getting up early, getting or being dressed, then transported by car or bus to school.  It can be overwhelming.   Take some time to prepare your child for the changes.  Check with the school to find out what schedule changes or rule changes have been decided on for the new year.  Even if you think you already know how things will go, sometimes teachers move or enrollment numbers change the way a school is planning to assign classes.  The more you know, the better you can advocate for your child's needs.
