REACHING PARENTS
Clinicians’ direct work with students and consultation with teachers and parents provides an opportunity to have a positive, supportive influence that reaches far beyond the walls of the classroom. All Kinds of Minds is committed to providing resources, such as the online Parent Toolkit and Tip Sheets, to help clinicians support parents whose children are struggling in school.

PARENT TOOLKIT
The online Parent Toolkit is designed to give parents, caregivers, and educators a better understanding of learning processes, insights into difficulties, and strategies for responding on the subjects of attention, math, reading, and writing. The Parent Toolkit is available to the general public at no cost. To learn more, visit the Parent Toolkit.
