“Just wanted to say that I took the Shining at School course this summer and then started my son at a new school. For the first time we have made it past the first quarter with zero issues! Now my son is happy and excited to go to school. I am actually looking forward to conferences this year. My son is thriving and successful. I felt so empowered to advocate for him when we switched schools after taking this course."

If you are raising a child with ADHD, you might feel completely overwhelmed by the *constant* emails and calls from the school. Maybe your child is interrupting the teacher... or refusing to do work... or forgetting to turn in assignments...or hitting other students. When you talk to your child's school, they are looking to you for guidance.
As a parent, you may feel helpless and confused. How can you help your child at school when you aren't there? How do you get the right services so they can be successful? How can you navigate this when you don't know what any of the acronyms mean... or what your child's rights are... or even what to ask for?
Are you ready to feel confident in knowing how to support your ADHD child at school?
once you understand the school system, you will know how to advocate for your child's needs.
You are in the right place...
"The principal said my son shines."
“My son’s 504 was approved today! It was a fantastic meeting and I’m so happy with the level of support the team agreed on. The principal said my son “shines” which made me think of your course. Thank you for all you do! "

What Parents are Saying!
"It gave us the confidence to go back to the school and advocate."
"We originally met with the school in September requesting a 504 plan after our son was privately diagnosed with OCD and inattentive ADHD. We were surprised that the meeting ended up being them pushing us away with “oh he’s fine right now so he may not be approved” and “he’s so bright he doesn’t need it right now”. I remember leaving that office feeling so confused why they would deny him. We knew we wanted to be proactive and not reactive. In January we decided to formally request the 504 and began the process. Reading the psychologist’s observation report, we were shocked at the extent of our son’s inattentive behavior and so that, along with teacher and parent interviews, had them approve the 504 and today we wrote up the accommodations.
You provided a wealth of information through your online course that gave us the confidence and knowledge to go back to the school and advocate for him."

"It is truly eye opening."
"After my son was diagnosed with ADHD and started a low dose medication, the school right away wanted to do an unscheduled review meeting of his IEP. They said he met all his goals on his IEP. I did not agree and requested a functional behavioral assessment to look more at his executive functioning skills. After a second IEP meeting, my son is now keeping his IEP, has an executive functioning goal to work on directions and memory, and is also keeping speech therapy. We added several more supports. I do not feel I would have been able to advocate for those things for my son without having taken the Shining at School Course. My partner and I are participating in this course together and are beyond grateful and appreciative of everything we are learning. It is truly eye opening."

"When I was in the process of getting my son tested for ADHD, I felt so lost with all of the different terminology, especially when it came to our rights with the school district. The Shining at School course was a phenomenal resource for me. It was so incredibly thorough and helped me to feel much more prepared as I advocated for my son. I went from feeling like a clueless bystander to a confident teammate with his teachers as we figured out the best educational plan for him. I would recommend this course to any parent who has a child with ADHD or who is in the process of seeking testing. This course gets an A+!."

But your course is helping me feel much more empowered and has made me feel like I can advocate so much better for my son!!! Truly the best money I have spent on any school related item!!!”

"I was so nervous going to the meeting. I had all my notes laid out from your courses and felt prepared. I knew that she qualified for the 504 plan since she had her ADHD diagnosis. My goal was still to get an IEP for her because of her emotional/behavioral issues she had in school. I had my supporting reasons why she should qualify for an IEP based on my notes from your courses. Well, all the documentation I had, letters I had written, and her previous teacher’s feedback helped us get an IEP for my daughter. Through her evaluations they decided on OT for her struggles with writing, speech therapy for her pragmatic language delay, and group counseling to help develop her social, emotional, behavioral skills. After the call yesterday I just cried tears of joy! I started this process in June and can’t believe that we will have everything in place before my daughter start school in September. I cannot thank you all enough!"

"I am at the beginning of the school evaluation for my kindergartener. Shining at School was SO helpful to understand the process, the legal timeframes, and the verbiage. I felt so much less intimidated going into the initial intake meeting. Now I’m feeling confident and I’m looking forward to advocating for my son’s needs at school!"
