Try one small step

  1. Ask about the school’s options and flexibility.
  2. Describe each child’s support needs and relationships.
  3. Agree when the arrangement will be reviewed.

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.
