## Resource

Here is your Gift!!! Guide https://www.cherylpankhurst.com/iep-high-school-transition-parent-quick-guide If your child has an IEP, the transition from Grade 8 to Grade 9 can feel overwhelming. You’re not just thinking about academics—you’re wondering: 👉 Will my child get lost in a much bigger school? 👉 Will teachers really understand their learning needs? 👉 What happens to their IEP—does it actually follow them? 👉 Will they feel socially safe and included? 👉 And when they’re struggling… who will they go to? These are real, valid concerns—and you’re not alone in them. The high school transition is one of the most critical moments for students with learning differences, ADHD, autism, or anxiety. And the truth is, the support doesn’t automatically “just happen.” But with the right preparation, advocacy, and awareness, this transition can feel a lot more supported—for both you and your child. This is the conversation every parent of an IEP student needs to be having before Grade 9 begins. #IEP #ParentingTeens #SpecialEducation #NeurodivergentTeens #ADHDKids #AutismSupport #HighSchoolTransition #Grade9 #ParentAdvocacy #SpecialEdSupport #IEPTransition&nbsp; Connect with Cheryl!
