How’s the school year going so far?
Are you and your child developing positive relationships with teachers?
The National Center for Learning Disabilities (NCLD) has developed a free Toolkit for Parents that can help you collaborate with your child’s school to make this the best year ever.
What’s in the Toolkit?
Sections include:
- Building a good relationship with your child’s teacher
- Essential skills for becoming your child’s advocate
- Advocating for your school-aged child
- Making the most of a parent-teacher conference
The Toolkit includes simple worksheets that help you plan priorities and guide parent-teacher meetings in a positive, effective way.
Actively engage your child in using the simple tools and strategies included in the Toolkit right along with you - so that she can develop self advocacy skills.
The planning worksheets and tips are user-friendly and effective. I even know of a mom who used some of them to help her adult son prepare for a planning meeting with a vocational rehabilitation counselor.
