Advocating for your child at school can be tough, even when you’re doing your best.

This interactive workshop offers practical strategies and clear frameworks for families just getting started and new ideas to help those already advocating feel more confident and supported.

Together we’ll explore

Practical communication strategies and techniques

Tips to help you get the most out of meetings

Focusing on what’s most important, without getting caught up in conflict

Ways to get back on track when things aren’t working

What to do and where to go for help when everyday advocacy isn’t enough

Who this event is for

Our workshops are for parents and carers of children with disability, developmental delay, autism, rare or genetic conditions, and medical needs

If you're facing serious conflict with your child’s school, it may be more helpful to engage with a professional advocate.
