January isn’t just “back to school.” For many children, it’s a full nervous system reset.
New teachers. New expectations. New routines. New social dynamics all at once. For children with complex needs, this transition can feel overwhelming long before it looks “behavioural.”
In this blog, I share what I wish more clinicians understood about supporting complex children through school transitions and why empathy, consistency, and leadership matter more than rushing intervention.
If you work with children in January, this one’s for you. 🤍
