Back to School Support
We believe that a timely return to school is crucial for your child’s overall well-being. Studies have consistently shown that the earlier a child goes back to school, the smoother the transition becomes. That’s why, right from the beginning of the treatment, the Rehab Without Walls team collaborates with schools to lay the groundwork for a successful re-entry.
Our school-focused efforts include planning for transportation, making necessary modifications and providing adaptive equipment, coordinating special education, facilitating testing, organizing teacher conferences, and working on class scheduling, among other aspects. We understand the importance of a seamless return to the academic environment, and we’re here to support you every step of the way.
