Ready, set, thrive! 🎒 It's time, or almost time, to head back to school. Start the year strong by setting up a 504 plan or talking to your school's accommodations office, connecting with your care team, and preparing essential supplies.

Each individual brings their hopes, ambitions, and expectations with them. Treating the whole person is vital for improving outcomes. 💙
