ADHD Parent Starter Kit — School Advocacy Edition

When our son was diagnosed, my wife walked into her first meeting with the school completely unprepared.

Not because she didn't care. Because nobody told her what she was walking into.

She didn't know the difference between an IEP and a 504. She didn't know what accommodations to ask for. She didn't know she had to ask at all — or that the school wasn't required to volunteer any of it.

She walked out of that meeting feeling like she'd failed him.

She hadn't. The system just doesn't come with a guide.

This kit is that guide.

The problem it solves:

Getting an ADHD diagnosis for your child is overwhelming enough on its own. Then comes the school piece — meetings, evaluations, acronyms you've never heard, and a system that moves slowly and doesn't always advocate for your child the way you need it to.

Most parents walk into their first school meeting underprepared. They leave without getting what their child needs. Then they spend months trying to recover ground they didn't know they were losing.

This kit changes that.

What's inside:

IEP vs 504 — Plain Language Explainer The single most important thing to understand before your first school meeting. What each one is, who qualifies, which one to ask for, and what your legal rights are. In plain language. No jargon.

The Classroom Accommodations Checklist 15 specific accommodations for ADHD students across three categories — attention and focus, assignments and testing, and communication. Each one explained in plain language. Bring this to every meeting and check off what applies to your child.

School Meeting Prep Sheet A fillable one-page form to complete before every school meeting. What's working, what isn't, what you're asking for, what you won't accept, and the follow-up actions agreed in the room. Never leave a meeting without a written record again.

The Parent Script Card Exact language for the conversations most parents don't know how to start. How to request an evaluation. What to say when the school tells you he's fine. How to respond when a teacher implies it's a parenting problem. How to follow up in writing after every meeting.

Medication Communication Sheet A fillable form for your child's teacher. When the medication kicks in, when it wears off, what working looks like, what wearing off looks like, and how to reach you. Give this to every teacher at the start of every school year.

The First 30 Days Checklist A week by week action list from diagnosis through the first month. What to do, in what order, starting now. One clear path through the confusion.

Who this is for:

This kit is for the parent who just got the diagnosis and doesn't know where to start with the school.

It is for the parent who walked out of a meeting feeling like they got steamrolled and doesn't want it to happen again.

It is for the parent who keeps hearing terms like IEP and 504 and is too embarrassed to ask what they actually mean.

It is not a legal document and it does not replace an attorney if your situation requires one. It is a practical starting point built by a parent who has been exactly where you are.
