Are you sending your child with autism off to school for the first time? Are you worried about the unknowns, the paperwork, or whether your child will get the support they need?
You are not alone, and you do not have to navigate this alone.
Join us for a live Positive Pathways Q&A designed for parents of young children with autism who are about to start their school journey. This event, led by experienced advocate and special needs parent Samantha Clarkin, will help you step into that first day with confidence, strategy, and hope.
- The 5 crucial things every autism parent needs to know before school starts (including a few no one tells you)
- Tips to make sure your voice and your child’s needs are heard and respected from day one
- A guide to uncovering “hidden” services, supports, and accommodations your child may be entitled to, even if the school is not offering them
- Real talk and real solutions for parents who feel overwhelmed, ignored, or just plain tired of being told “no”
- An opportunity to connect, ask questions, and walk away with actionable next steps
I have been where you are. As both a special education teacher and the parent of a child with autism, I know how confusing and emotional this journey can be. I have sat at the same tables, fought the same fights, and built a reputation for unwavering advocacy, clarity, and results. My approach is about empowering you to become your child’s best advocate and making sure no family ever has to feel alone or defeated by the system.
“You’re the expert on your child. I’m your guide, advocate, and your calm in the chaos.”
Do not let the unknowns steal your peace. Let’s get your family ready and get your child the support they deserve.
Seats are limited. Reserve your spot now and set your child up for a strong, supported start!
This event is open to parents and caregivers in Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
