The Back-to-School Transition

If your ADHD kid is coming home from the first weeks of school completely fried, melting down over things that seem small, unable to do basic tasks they were handling fine in June, this episode is for you. Season 2 of The Behaviour Coach Podcast opens with a full back-to-school arc, and this first episode is about why the transition itself is so hard. Erica walks through the enormous executive function load of "new" for an ADHD brain, what the first weeks of regression actually are (spoiler: it is not regression), how to take load off at home during September, and how to help your kid's new teacher see them clearly in the small window at the beginning of the year. She also introduces a free resource for parents: the Support Profile, an editable Canva template you can give to your kid's teacher, plus one-pagers on ADHD and autism.
