Questions Parents Can Ask Before a Child Report
How parents can approach learning, confidence and direction conversations without reducing a child to a label.
Keep The Conversation Gentle
For parents, the aim is not to label a child. The aim is to understand which support conversations may be worth having: learning preferences, focus, feedback, communication, confidence, subject choices and future direction.
MyFire cannot diagnose ADHD, dyslexia, autism, anxiety or any learning condition. If you have a clinical or educational concern, speak with a qualified professional.
