A strong partnership with your child’s school can make a real difference to how your child feels, learns, and is supported.

But it’s not always easy to know where to start.

Join other NAPA families for an interactive online workshop, delivered in partnership with Belongside Families, where you’ll gain practical tools and frameworks to help you feel more confident working with teachers and school staff.

We'll explore

Ways to create a strong, positive relationship with your child’s school

How to work out what matters most for your child and share these priorities

How to spot where things are breaking down and what you can do about it

Understanding school roles and how to connect with the right people for support

What adjustments and supports you can ask for and when advocacy might be needed

This session is especially suited to families preparing for their child’s transition to school who are wanting to build trust and strong partnerships with educators from day one.

Who this event is for

This workshop is for NAPA parents and carers preparing for their child's transition to school or supporting a child already in primary school.

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, our advocacy-focused workshops or engaging with a professional advocate may be a better fit.
