The back-to-school rush may be behind us, but you might still have that nagging feeling: is my child actually getting everything they need? Here’s what to check — plus what’s coming up at Undivided.
Weekly read: Is your child getting everything in their IEP?

Weekend watch list: What do experts want parents to know one month into school?
Undivided Conversations: Sunday, September 27, 10:00 a.m. PT.

Parent tip: Try Undivided’s virtual assistant
A month into school, are you noticing your child struggling to keep up or wondering if their current tools are enough? Ask our virtual assistant Andy whether it might be time for a new assistive technology assessment — and get help drafting a formal request letter to your child’s school. Trained on Undivided’s trusted content, Andy shares answers and guides you on how to learn more. Try asking, “Can I request a new assessment for my child?”
