Back-to-school is often a time of mixed feelings for both children and parents, especially if the child has communication, motor or learning difficulties. In this episode, hosts Stephanie and Meredith discuss tips to help families make the transition from summer to school smooth and positive for the whole family. They discuss the importance of building communication with the teacher, attending meet-the-teacher events, getting back to a routine, and involving your child in the back-to-school process. Whether they’re entering preschool, moving up a grade level or starting a new school altogether, this episode will help start your year off strong.
Stephanie and Meredith have more than 45 years’ combined experience as parents, classroom teachers and speech-language pathologists! They also use many of these ideas with their own children.
