10 Things To Do BEFORE School Starts
A successful school year begins in July. An unsuccessful one begins the first day of classes. Set your child up for success by reviewing his IEP or 504 Plan, developing organization systems with him, communicating with teachers, and more during the summer months.

Scout the School
Doing a walk through of the school before the school year starts will
reduce anxiety for your nervous ADHD child. Locate his classroom and look over the desk arrangement and the
classroom organization system. Find the bathrooms, auditorium, nurse’s office, and
gym. If your child travels from class to class, walk him through her schedule.
