School transitions from home to kindergarten, day care to kindergarten. Year one to year two, and especially from primary to high school are hard! Some might even say 'Trifficult'.
New rooms, new environments and of course new teachers can trigger a chain of emotional, sensory and overwhelm reactions. Whether you're a person with a disability, or a care giver to a special little human, a bit of help and communication can never go astray.
We have developed a free 'About Me' word doc for you to download and complete to share with your new teacher. It is a basic outline of needs and supports that might help to facilitate a calmer transition. Delete what you don't need, add what you do. Make it your own and make it meaningful. If you have any killer suggestions to include, please let us know via the contact us tab or share it to our socials.
