When do I need to ask for professional help?

The IEP for Home provides a lot of useful advice and strategies- but it cannot provide medical or behavioral advice for your child. Only you and the professionals who work with your child know what will work best with your child and in your situation.

Be sure to consult with professionals when you think you are not making good progress in teaching your child about Rules. For example, you can speak with your child’s pediatric health care provider. You can speak with a child therapist or behavioral health counselor. you can speak with your child’s classroom teacher, or the school guidance counselor. All of these professionals want what’s best for your child- and may have pointers or suggestions for what you can do for your child in your situation.
