The Night Before the Assessment
Keep the evening before an assessment as much like any other evening as you can.
A two-minute read, three things to try, for ages 5 to 13.
Where to start
- Keep bath, supper and bedtime the way they usually are.
- Tell her briefly what’s happening, in words she can understand: “We’re going to see a doctor tomorrow who asks children questions about how their brain works.
The rest of the tip, with more to try and why it works, is in the library.
It goes with
- Neurodiversity, and the Conversation with the School. For parents whose child has been working harder and longer than other children to do things that come more easily to them.
The first chapter you open here is free to read in full.
