Helping Children Thrive in School & Preparing For Adolescence

​

The school years bring new academic, social, behavioral, and developmental challenges—and families often find themselves navigating increasingly complex systems along the way.

This panel brings together experts to discuss effective IEPs, emotional regulation and behavior supports, school collaboration, executive functioning, social development, independence, safety, and alternative education options. Families will also learn why it is important to begin transition planning early, including understanding Transition IEPs and preparing for services, supports, education, employment, and life beyond high school.

Come with your questions and leave with practical strategies, resources, and a clearer understanding of how to support your child throughout the school years and prepare for what comes next.
