Mini-Course: Preparing for School-Entry
3 - Working with the School
Information to discuss with your child's teacher
When you meet with your child's teacher, be sure to discuss your child's developmental history.- Complete the information sheet entitled My Child's Strengths and Challenges and give the teacher a copy. This will provide the teacher insight into your child's unique skills and abilities as well as prepare the teacher for challenges that might arise.
- Provide the following information:
- Name of the school/educational program
- Is it a school/program for the deaf or hard of hearing?
- How many months or years did your child attend?
- How old was your child when he/she attended?
- What did your child gain most from this experience?
- Were there any specific teaching strategies that helped your child?
