  • You've done everything you can think of but still feel like the school or coach just don't get your child?
  • You often feel overwhelmed or discouraged thinking of your child experience when you're not there?
  • You know they need something different to feel (and behave) better but you can't seam to get your point across to others?
  • Your tired of feeling like "that" parent, the annoying one always asking for special treatment for their child but you know it's what your child NEEDS  
  • You are putting way too much time/energy on that advocacy thing and not enough on what's really important: Your child!

I want you to know that it's possible to

  • Be clear on what to ask for that will have the biggest impact (let's be honest we know we wont get everything our child really needs, but if they can get those most important things it would already be great, right?)
  • Feel less torn when dropping off your child because you know at least ONE person there gets them even when they don't ask for what they need or feeling less afraid when the phone rings during the day
  • Feel less guilty and annoying while asking for accommodations for your child
  • Feel like you have some power over the decisions made for your child and know what to do if things don't go as plan
  • Have a bit more brain space in your life for what really matters: your kids...and yourself

This workbook will allow you to

  • Clarify what your child needs for accommodations are, it's not as clear as it is even for us most of the time!

  • Let go of the feeling of being "that" annoying parent and feel like you are doing the right thing for your child AND for other kids too

FAQ

Is this just for emotionally intense kids? Or kids with a diagnosis? No, it applies to any kids that might require some accommodations in school, camp, sports or any other social settings and for whom you might need to ask for evaluations, treatments or assessments of some sort, so the range is pretty large. 

Is this just for parents? No, it's for all caregivers. Some parts you'll do one (the part that resume the info you go) some parts you can do many times for the relationship with  every kids and caregivers.

Can you help me with administrative things specific to where I live (like IEP)? Unless you're in Quebec, Canada, no, I can't help with local related situations. But I might be able to recommend someone who's local to you, you can contact me with your location (no matter where you are in the world) and I'll do my best to find someone local to you that can help.
