Back At It
Back At It EP's Annual Back To School issue is an invaluable resource as the new school year begins and the nation heads back to class.
It’s that time of year again! Kids are anticipating who their new classmates will be, parents are setting up new routines for the schoolweek schedule, and educators are preparing to welcome their students back to their classrooms. Of course, parents of children with learning differences face unique challenges each and every fall. EP’s Annual Education issue is an invaluable resource as the new school year begins and the nation heads back to class.
In our cover story, Jessica Weinberg, Esq. and Denise Gackenheimer Verzella, Esq. emphasize that communication with your child’s teachers, case managers, and the school or district administration is vital to transitioning back to school and ensuring a productive school year. They offer a succinct set of guidelines that will help reduce anxiety for both you and your child.
"Supporting Students with Special Needs through the IEP Team" and Understanding the Tools of Your Child's Educational Team" are two great articles that shed light on support plans and evaluation measures that parents of children with special needs will find very informative.
Jenn Adams, one of EP's terrific regular contributors, is back in the classroom and sharing a list of her favorite authors of books about bullying. See her selections along with short synopses in her article "13 Books to Read with Kids about Bullying."
In this month's Features section, find out when to seek treatment for your child's allergies symptoms, why it might be important to pursue a driver's license for your teen, and how to protect your child's
government benefits by not exceeding limits on their bank accounts.
