# Helping Your School-Age Kids: Clear Steps, Real Answers

If the school has ever suggested “Maybe your child has ADHD,” pushed for medication, or told you to “get testing,” you’re not alone. This practical, judgment-free session breaks down exactly what to do next so you can advocate with confidence.

In this workshop, you’ll learn:

  • The do’s and don’ts when a school raises behavior or learning concerns
  • What schools can ask for—and what they can’t
  • When an IEP is a smart move (and when it isn’t), plus other support options
  • How to document concerns, request evaluations, and keep communication on track

We’ll walk through real-world scenarios, share resources you can use immediately, and leave time for your questions at the end.

Who it’s for: Parents, aunties, guardians, and caregivers who want clear, actionable guidance for supporting a school-age child. New to this? You’re welcome. Been fighting this fight for a while? You’ll pick up fresh tools.

You’ll leave with: A step-by-step game plan, a list of do’s and don’ts, and language you can use in your very next meeting.

Bring: Your questions, a notebook, and any school notices you’ve received.
