When I watched my daughter find her place 🥹⤵️

A space where she belonged, where she felt fully accepted, filled with soon-to-be friends who really understood her. 

The joy and relief in that moment was unmatched.

For Violet, this moment was when she started at her new school...

A non public school specifically designed for neurodivergent students (shoutout to the_helixschool !!)

After years of feeling "other" at her neighborhood school where she was excluded from school activities, bullied by her peers, and had an incredibly difficult time making friends... 

Violet is in a place where she is celebrated for exactly who she is and surrounded by other children and adults who understand her 🥹

And when there IS an issue (because inevitably things still pop up!), the students are supported by staff who know how to help them resolve, repair, and develop more skills.

For Violet and our family, this school was life-changing. 

And we firmly believe that every child deserves to be in an educational space that empowers them to be their best self!

If your child's needs are not being met through their current IEP, remember that you have the right to request an IEP meeting at any time to discuss your options.

And whether you're just starting to research or are already knee deep in it, we have a free guide that can help you understand what's out there!

Comment "School Guide" and we'll send it your way 🎒
