Back to School Tips

 

Back-to-school can bring big feelings — for children and parents.

​

New teachers, new routines and new expectations can be especially challenging for dyslexic students. A few early conversations and simple checks can make a powerful difference to how the year begins.

​

You don’t need to have all the answers. You don’t need a diagnosis to advocate. And you don’t need to do this alone.

​

Check out our practical back-to-school tips to help your child start the year supported, understood and confident. ​Save this for the first weeks of school and share with another parent who might need it.

It’s not easy to be the parent of a vulnerable child, particularly a child with a hidden disability that can escape diagnosis…but the reality is that in the overwhelming number of cases, the only way things will improve is if a knowledgeable and caring adult takes the lead and actively creates change. Most of the time it is a patient, persevering and ‘activist’ parent.”
