Parent Training: How to Advocate For Your Child At School
For Parents
of children with social challenges or learning difficulties including Autism (ASD), anxiety and more
Know how to get the most from your child's school:
Every parent wants their child’s school experience to be positive and happy. Schools are filled with fantastic people who often do their absolute best within a very limited, under-resourced system. Yet, no school could ever understand your child, accommodate their needs, or love them quite like you do.
So, how do we navigate the uncharted waters of working with our child’s school? By taking a sensible, measured approach. We will explore proactive ways to help your child get what they need from their school, without coming across as an overbearing, helicopter parent.
Key skills are explicitly taught and practised, including how to:
- Your child’s school understands how best to help your child
- Communication between school and home can be regular, effective and pleasant.
- Parents know strategies for working with teachers when things are not quite on track.
- Parents can help determine which issues need to be addressed versus what can be allowed to pass without intervening.
- Know your options - Proactive steps to take when you feel that school is not meeting your child’s needs.
