Summer feels far away, but now is the time to start thinking about ESY.

Pay attention to how your child responds to breaks from instruction.

This week, I attended an IEP meeting with parents who believe their child may benefit from ESY.

Because we had information about:

📌 Where their child was performing at the end of last school year
📌 The skills being worked on this year
📌 Their child’s progress
📌 What happens when they are away from instruction

—we were able to begin the conversation and documentation around ESY.

And remember, this is an ongoing process.

What happens during upcoming school breaks can provide important information, too.

If you’re wondering whether ESY may be appropriate for your child, or you’d like someone to review your child’s IEP and documentation with you, I’m here to help. 💛

What parents may think:
“If I ask the school to evaluate my child, they can just ignore me or wait indefinitely.”

What must happen:
Make the request in writing.
The school district must respond. They cannot simply set your request aside.

The district must either move forward with the evaluation process and obtain your consent, or explain in writing why they are refusing the evaluation through A Prior Written Notice

📌 Tip for parents: Always put your request in writing and keep a copy for your records.

"Don’t wait until November to speak up…"

"If your child is already struggling with:
⚠️ Homework frustration
⚠️ Behavior changes
⚠️ Falling behind in class
It may be time to request an initial IEP or 504. Time to review or update your child's IEP or 504. You don’t have to wait.

Ever notice that when you’re trying to change a behavior, the “experts” tell you to reward yourself? 🎯

The same can work for children!

Instead of focusing only on what went wrong, notice and reinforce the behavior you want to see more often. 👏

✨ Catch them doing it right.
✨ Name the positive behavior.
✨ Reinforce it.

Focus on growing the behavior you want—not just punishing the behavior you don’t.

I've noticed that as I grow older, closed captioning makes it easier to follow the dialogue on TV😄. Anytime you use multiple senses to access information, you create more pathways to retrieve it later.

So go ahead and play the audiobook while your child reads. This helps not only students with dyslexia, but also students with fluency and word pronunciation; it builds more pathways and lessens the cognitive load for your child.

ADHD is 3 times more likely to be diagnosed in boys than in girls.

Boys exhibit more outward characteristics, while girls exhibit more inward characteristics.

Talking to a qualified medical professional can help.
