It is not uncommon for students to have a fear of school but once you add everything that has gone on over the past several months it would only make sense to ensure they are prepared for their school day!
If you feel that your child may have some difficulties with the overall transition back to school, this post may be helpful for you.
It is important to begin getting your child ready and prepared.
Well, how do you start? With my son with Autism, we have always shown him a schedule of what the month looks like. For many kids, they need structure. Whether you have a diagnosis or not, it is a great way to stay organized.
A schedule can have pictures or textual cues to indicate what is coming up for the day, the week or month. In our classrooms, all of our students have their own schedules. This way they can learn how to manage their own time and learn how schedules work. We print up their schedule and place it in a sheet protector so that you can easily change the schedules without having to always laminate new sheets. Don't get me wrong, I love to laminate so you need to do what works best for your students.
