Strengthening these skills now can prevent stress, academic struggles, and last-minute problem-solving once college begins.What you can do RIGHT NOW.....🔸Review their IEP or 504 together🔸Practice sending short, respectful emails🔸Encourage use of planners or digital tools🔸Normalize help seeking as a skill, not a weakness🔸Coach through challenges, instead of fixingNext Steps 🪜❗Targeted preparation can make a meaningful difference.
