Use C.A.L.M. to prepare for your next school or provider conversation:
- Connect: Begin with the shared goal.
- Assess: Organize what you have observed and what remains unclear.
- Lead: Ask one specific question.
- Maintain: Write down the agreed next step and when it will be reviewed.
Example:
“What support is being used consistently, and how will we know whether it is helping?”
Action: Share one general question you want to remember—without including names, schools, providers, diagnoses, or records.
This is educational group support, not legal, clinical, or individualized advice.***
