- Will my child do well with their teachers this year?
- Will I be able to collaborate effectively with their teachers if the need arises?
- Will my child effectively manage their homework?

- Will my child feel comfortable and competent in school?

MEET THE TEACHER: How to Build Relationships This Back-to-School Season
Parents and teachers see different facets of every child, especially students with ADHD. The way neurodivergent learners respond in various settings often depends on their comfort levels, interest, confidence, and motivation.
Parents of children with ADHD must share relevant and helpful information with new teachers each school year. This open, transparent communication allows educators to better decode and support a child’s needs and collaborate with caregivers on solutions. This Webinar will highlight tools and tips for collaborating in person and via targeted emails because the more parents, students, and teachers connect effectively, the more likely students will thrive.
In this Webinar:
- Parents will learn how to gather important insights and perspectives about their children to help new teachers understand how to best connect with and support their new students
- Teachers will learn to ask questions that will help them understand information about their students that will be useful and appropriate.
- Teachers and parents will learn sensible plans for effectively managing communication for a calm, successful new school year.
