Be honest with us... what is keeping you from attending our workshops? 🤔

Is it the timing? Is it childcare? Are you just completely exhausted at the end of the day? (We totally get it!).

We want to make our upcoming workshops as accessible and useful as possible, whether we're talking about organizing IEP binders or navigating school transitions. But to do that, we need your feedback.

Please take 3 minutes to fill out our anonymous survey and tell us exactly what you need to succeed this upcoming season.

Starting with a new team can feel overwhelming, for kids and parents.

At L.E.A.D., we use an "All About Me" sheet to make sure every new teacher, paraprofessional, and support staff member truly knows your child before they even begin.

This personalized profile covers:
✅ Your child's favorites & personality
✅ What communication & learning strategies work for them
✅ What to avoid so we don't set them up for frustration
✅ Their strengths (because every child has them!)
✅ The skills they're currently working on

No more re-explaining your child's needs from scratch every time there's a new face. The "All About Me" means your child's support team is informed, prepared, and ready to meet them right where they are. See more examples at www.discover-lead.com on our resources tab!
