My Deliverables
The Schedule
The schedule allows caregivers to organize information the school and transform the information into tasks for each day, while also highlighting each day’s priorities.
Quick Fix Packet
The Quick Fix Packet offers a handy compilation of resources for parents and caregivers. I wrote content covering four topics that might be useful to guardians who are struggling to formally teach young children. Click here or on the images above to see the full packet PDF.
Emotion Map
The Emotion Map offers an accessible way for caregivers and students to recognize and talk about their emotions. It is also an important tool for setting and adjusting expectations for each day.
