A Class Passport
We’ve only just got a diagnosis for our little one, but I kinda wish I had used this for the last few years. Every year when my little one changes classes, we have to start all over again and I have help my little ones teacher understand him better.
I listened to a webinar about ADHD and they suggested putting everything in writing, a class passport that follows them. Its a quick look about the needs of your child, how their condition effects them and what different things the teacher can do to help.
I don’t think at all that this should replace meeting with your child’s teacher. I think it’s great to build a rapport with them, get to know them and become your child’s cheerleaders. Also some schools may already do this, but I think coming from the parents perspective is also important.
I have put a downloadable version for you to print off and write on. There are definitely other versions out there but I couldn’t find one that was completely right. I hope it works for you.
