Welcome to the Wire Differently podcast where we chat all about how to best support exceptional children.

I'm your host, Holly Blanc Moses, the mom psychologist who gets it.

This episode is fantastic for both parents and professionals who support a child with autism and or ADHD.

And stay tuned for the whole thing because I'm going to give away a free, valuable resource.

So here we go.

It's time for school again.

And it feels like a very strange time to start school. And it's even more important

now than ever to have great communication between the school and home, especially when it comes

to virtual learning. If you are a parent who is listening right now, you may have had thoughts like, I know my child's teacher is busy and overwhelmed,

and I'm afraid they may not remember all the parts of their IEP.

You may have even thought the teacher may not know how to keep my child engaged during classwork in person,

and it may actually be really tough to keep them engaged virtually. Something that comes up for parents, too, is that, you know, the teacher may

accidentally mistake their child's anxiety, executive functioning differences, social deficits,

communication differences, has bad behavior

because it can look that way sometimes. It's a lot for all of us, for both teachers and parents,

and of course, the children more so than anything. But I've got a great way to help.

Today I'm offering you my free get to know my children. But I've got a great way to help.

Today I'm offering you my free Get to Know My Child Sheet.

It's a simple one page, a fillable PDF that can help your child transition more easily into school.

It's a very effective way for parents to communicate their child's needs to their teachers. More good news for our teachers who are listening, the free guide is perfect way for you

to connect more successfully with your students and set them up for a great year.

Another bonus is that you can easily email the sheet to your student's parents.
