The Summit Schedule
DAY ONE
October 27
We kick off with what matters most—understanding your child. Today’s sessions help you see how your child learns, thinks, & experiences school so you can stop guessing and start supporting them in ways that fit. You’ll hear from experts who’ll help you spot strengths beneath the challenges and see school struggles in a whole new light.
DAY TWO
October 28
Today focuses on building the academic and learning skills that help kids thrive. You’ll get practical strategies for reading, writing, math, and organization—while keeping confidence and motivation intact. Our experts will show you how to make learning feel doable again, one small success at a time.
DAY THREE
October 29
Big emotions and tough behavior can make school feel overwhelming for everyone involved. Today’s sessions will give you tools to help kids manage anxiety, frustration, and stress—while staying regulated and connected. You’ll learn strategies that bring calm to the chaos and help your child feel more capable at school.
DAY FOUR
October 30
We’re wrapping up the summit with a focus on action—turning everything you’ve learned into real, lasting support. Today’s sessions will help you advocate with confidence (without burning out), stay grounded when school gets hard, and celebrate the small wins that add up to big change.
