Manage episode 428408048 series 3579343
Hello everyone and welcome back to another episode of "Parenting is Easy Said No One Ever." I'm your host, Chananya Abraham. Today, we have an amazing conversation with Gabriela Deambrosio, an educational consultant based across America. We're thrilled to have her with us before the school year starts to discuss vital aspects of our children's education.
Setting the Stage for Success in Education
As the new school year approaches, it's crucial to set our kids up for educational success. Think of education like a dining experience—it's not just the food itself, but the atmosphere, ambiance, and company that enhance the experience. Similarly, the educational environment is just as important as the schooling itself. This involves the community, family, and professionals like neuropsych evaluators and speech therapists who support our kids outside the school setting.
Key Areas Parents Need to Know
One of the first areas Gabriela addresses is the importance of early identification of a child's needs. Often, learning disabilities go unnoticed, leading to secondary issues like low self-esteem and school avoidance. Early identification can pave the way for more targeted support and better outcomes for our children.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Neuropsychological Evaluations
- Understanding IEPs and 504 Plans
- The Role of Educational Advocates
- Medication and Executive Functioning
- Respecting Teachers
- The Impact of Technology
Parents as Pillars of Support
As parents, we are the primary advocates for our children. Gabriela reminds us that our actions and attitudes significantly impact our children’s behavior and learning. Leading by example and fostering a supportive home environment can make a world of difference.
