Free Live Webinar on March 6: How to Find the Best School Match for Your Student with ADHD or LD
School is supposed to be a place where children learn, grow, and thrive, but that isn’t always the case. For kids with ADHD and learning disabilities (LD), certain school environments may not be a good fit, and could even disrupt the educational experience. So when is it time to consider a new school? Are there ways to work with your child’s current school to transform it into a better learning environment?
ADDitude magazine is hosting a free expert webinar about how to choose a school for your child with ADHD/LD featuring Susan Yellin, Esq., on Wednesday, March 6, at 10 a.m. PST.
What Will Be Covered
Critical first steps include understanding the kinds of schools available to your child — public, charter, private, special education, and parochial — and then evaluating these schools to determine if they are a good fit for your child. It is also crucial for parents to understand their legal rights in this process, including how to get a current district to pay for a new school.
In this webinar, parents will learn:
- How to recognize problems with your child’s current school and how to address them
- How to know when it is time to move on to a new school
- How to use built-in transition points to make a change
- Special considerations for students with IEPs and 504 Plans
- Differences among public, charter, and different kinds of private schools
- How families can determine if a school is the right fit for their child
- The financial considerations when switching to another school
- How parents can help students transition to a new school
Register now for this webinar. You will receive the free webinar replay link after 3/6 as well.
