Built for school, too

We write the school documentation your child's team needs before they will give services.

School documentation = the written, dated paperwork a school acts on. Four pieces:

Incident log — dated notes of what happened and what set it off
Pattern summary — the trigger behind the behavior, in school language
Home support plan — the steps that work at home, written for the teacher
Request letter — asks the school for an evaluation or supports — they must answer

Schools move when there is paper. Most parents ask and wait. You will walk in with documentation.

You're not failing. You just don't have the words yet.

Why these tools help

Kids with ADHD and autism aren't refusing homework. Their body is fighting to sit still while their brain tries to think. Give the body a job and the brain frees up.
