With February 3–9 marking both National School Counseling Week and Children’s Mental Health Week, there is no better time to talk about the tools available to help our kids thrive.
If your child struggles with ADHD, anxiety, or depression, the "school lingo" can feel like a maze. Here is the quick breakdown:
✅ The IEP (Individualized Education Plan): Think of this as a specialized roadmap. It’s for kids who need specialized instruction and specific, measurable goals.
✅ The 504 Plan: This is all about access. It provides accommodations (like extra time on tests or movement breaks) to ensure your child has the same opportunities as their peers.
Remember: These aren't "extra help"—they are the tools your child deserves to level the playing field.
