What it might look like
Write separate notes for each child, including communication and learning preferences. Ask how adults will protect each child from comparisons and notice concerns.
Make the plan your own
Choose one idea and ask the people involved what support they need. Notice whether it makes the day more manageable, then keep, change, or drop it. You do not have to complete every suggestion. Different ages, abilities, cultures, and family arrangements may call for different choices.
