Returning to school can bring excitement, uncertainty, and many moving pieces—especially when a child relies on individualized support. This guide is designed to support families and educators as children with disabilities transition back into learning environments that honor their strengths, needs, and identities. The goal of this guide is to help you navigate this transition with clarity, compassion, and confidence. Together, we can create a school experience where every child feels safe, understood, and empowered to thrive.
