Parents or Guardians often begin to suspect their child may need additional help in school when they notice that their child is struggling despite receiving typical classroom instruction or support. While every child learns differently, difficulties that interfere with learning, behavior, attendance, or participation may have parents asking for a closer review.

As the summer heat is still present, it’s hard to think about the approaching fall, but it is time to start considering the return to school for many families. This is a time that can be charged with many large emotions like anxiousness, worry, stress, excitement, happiness or dread. It is important to allow your child to feel valid for having any and all of these reactions.
