Fall brings new rhythms, new routines, and a whole new set of challenges as kids get back into the groove of school. It’s essential we are prepared to meet the home- and school-based needs of youth during this time, especially those with special needs.

• Develop Empathy and show sensitivity to abuse and neglect and how to help a child gain comfort regardless of their experience
