From the Heart: School Success

Winston Churchill once said, “success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts”. Every one of us in our “special community” can benefit from understanding this…and have already chosen to do by virtue of “pressing onward” every day. It so happens that this month’s tie-in theme is “School Success”. We can all benefit from the incredible amount of tips and advice we have to share this month. These “lessons learned” are designed to save us effort, energy, frustration and most importantly….. time; the one resource we will never get back.
I know all of us are back into the Fall school routine, so I hope you check out the articles that can assist you with the new year ahead of you. There is advice about IEPs and how to stay on top of them. We have an interesting new column called “How To…” where professionals AND parents share advice on a specific topic.
As always, take a look around the magazine. I know there is something in there for each and every one of us. All the best.
