School Readiness: Understanding children with special needs

School Readiness: Understanding children with special needs

In the 3 minute video below, I share some important information that every parent of a child starting school should consider.

Next year, it’s almost a guarantee that your child will have a classmate who has additional needs.

If you’re concerned about how your child will fit in to school next year, can you imagine how the parents of kids who have extra medical, physical, learning or behavioural challenges must be feeling right now?

You set the tone when it comes to the development of your child’s attitudes and values, and in the video and free fact sheet below, I share some practical ways in which you can answer your child’s questions and help him or her to be an accepting friend.

I really encourage you to take a look and get informed!

I hope these tips help your child, and their classmates, thrive at school next year.
