Not Sure What To Do to Help Your Special Needs Child in Elementary School? Read Below!


The Ultimate Guide To Special Needs Support Services: Ages 6 thru 12

Hello everyone!

Ahhhh… grade school!

Your child is starting to become more independent and self-reliant.

They are becoming “do-it-yourselfers” which means they do a lot more things on their own and create a lot more messes in the process! Lol 😊

For children with special needs, they REALLY up their game at this phase!

Zeke and I understand the unique perspective and sometimes bewildering logic that can accompany a special needs child's journey.

We’ve seen firsthand the creativity and intense focus a special needs child can have.

How they can demonstrate an extraordinary blend of literal interpretation and ambitious goal setting.

How do I know this? Both Zeke and I have autistic children of our own!

These elementary school-age years, typically spanning from age 6 to 12, mark a significant period in a child's development.

It’s a time when they begin to assert more independence, explore the world around them with newfound curiosity, and engage more deeply with peers and structured learning environments.

For special needs children, this phase is particularly crucial as they navigate the complexities of academic demands, social dynamics, and personal growth.

This week’s article and video outlines the support services available during a child's preschool years and helps to answer these key questions:

· What is an IEP or 504 Plan?

· How do I get my child an IEP or 504 Plan?

· What accommodations can schools provide for my child?

· How can I help my child develop social skills?

· What programs address behavioral challenges?

Accessing these resources can provide essential tools to address your child's needs and proper access can save YOU hundreds even thousands of dollars a year!

Zeke and I have figured out what is keeping you up at night AND provide solutions you can easily use to tackle your biggest problems.
