In this episode of the School Can't Experience Podcast, hosted by Leisa Reichelt, we discuss the best strategies for preparing children for school transitions.

As the school year ends, many parents are concerned about how to set their children up for success in the next academic year, especially when transitioning between primary and high school.

Guests Tiffany Westphal from School Can't Australia and Louise White, who recently completed her PhD on supporting autistic students with transitions, share their insights and experiences.

Topics include the importance of proactive preparation, communication strategies with teachers, and understanding the challenges neurodivergent children face during transitions. Tune in for valuable advice and resources to help support your child's educational journey.
