Once you understand what it is you’re advocating for, utilize the resources around you! Create a team of trusted professionals willing and equipped to support your child. Connect with your child’s healthcare providers, therapists, and educators to develop a plan for your child’s care and education.
This team of professionals provide further insight into the needs of your child and will provide guidance on how to best support them. Building positive relationships with this team will be a tremendous aid in providing wraparound support for your child. Be sure to be in consistent communication so as concerns come up, you have a safe place to be heard and create a plan.
One of the most important reminders is that you’re not alone! Seek out parents in your child’s school system who also have children with special needs. Look for support groups or online communities of parents walking on similar paths. Decade2Connect has consistent parent support groups available. Whatever the avenue, familiarize yourself with the support surrounding you.
