This comprehensive guide helps parents recognize the signs of academic or behavioral struggles and take proactive steps to support their child’s success. You’ll learn how to identify early warning signs, what questions to ask teachers, and how to collaborate with the school to find the right level of support. The resource explains how general education supports, MTSS, and special education processes like IEP or 504 plans can help address challenges—whether they’re academic, emotional, or social. It includes a step-by-step approach for problem-solving meetings, real-life examples, and guidance on documenting concerns. This Kansas-focused guide emphasizes that parents are essential partners in finding solutions and that schools are required to respond when a student shows signs of difficulty. Perfect for parents who feel stuck or unsure of what to do next and want a clear, supportive path forward to advocate for their child.

Brett is one of the most thoughtful practitioners I have worked with in my career. He is extremely thorough in his psychological evaluations. In therapy, he is as empathetic as he is competent in working with people who are facing great challenges.
