For years, we've often heard kids, particularly those who are neurodivergent or have disabilities, described using terms like "high-functioning" or "low-functioning." While seemingly convenient labels, these categories can paint an incomplete and sometimes damaging picture of a kid's unique strengths and challenges. Thankfully, a more nuanced and, frankly, more respectful way of understanding our kids is gaining traction: focusing on individual support needs.

Think outside the box! Inclusion isn't a one-size-fits-all approach. Don't hesitate to suggest creative ideas and advocate for practices that truly support your child's meaningful engagement.
