Parents leading for positive outcomes
Parents often meet with professionals to achieve the best outcomes for their children. The key to success lies in being well-prepared and proactive.

- Ensuring everyone understands the purpose of the meeting

- Listening to each team member
- Clarifying roles and responsibilities after the meeting
