Hi Reader,

Is your child struggling in school—but not saying anything about it? The truth is, many kids don’t yet have the words or confidence to ask for help when they need it. That’s where self-advocacy comes in.

Self-advocacy is a skill we can teach. It helps children recognize what they need—whether it’s a quieter seat, more time on a task, or a break—and communicate those needs clearly and respectfully.

In the past, I discussed how to help children develop self-advocacy skills at home as a building block. Now, I were going to learn how to empower children to develop these self-advocacy skills in school.

In my latest blog post, I share:

• Why self-advocacy is essential for learning and regulation
• Simple ways to help your child identify and express their needs
• Scripts and strategies to practice at home
• How to partner with teachers to create a supportive school experience
