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.

This workshop will give you practical tools and strategies to help you feel more confident working with teachers and school staff.

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.
Understanding school roles and how to connect with the right people for support.
How to work out what's causing challenges and what you can do about it.
What adjustments and supports you can ask for and when advocacy might be needed.

Who is this session for

This workshop is for parents and carers living in Australia who are raising children with disability, developmental delay, Autism, rare and genetic conditions and high medical needs.

It is intended for families preparing for the transition to school or supporting a child already in school.

If you're facing serious conflict with your child’s school, our advocacy focused workshops or engaging with a free disability advocacy service may be more helpful.

This is not for professionals.
