Teachers say this all the time, and so many parents don't know where to begin when they know their child is struggling in school. Because so many teachers say, "Let's wait and see," lots of children go without necessary support and can struggle throughout the school year. Or they do okay academically, so the teachers don't acknowledge that they're struggling in other ways.

So we can definitely help advocate for your child and empower you to do the same.
