 | Hannah Barlette @barlette_hannah A1: I think a good strategy to help a child feel confident about the transition would be to get to know them and greet them warmly. Using ice breakers is a good way to get to know the students on the first day. #LDchat #barbersclass @barbersclass |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg The pressures of high school can be extra stressful for kids with #LD. #ldchat https://t.co/v2u68E9PuP |
| Amanda Morin @AmandaMorin I love this. It's so true. You need to be able to prepare not just students, but their new teachers, too. #LDchat https://t.co/aQQvFytAfl |
 | Angela Lange @angela_lange25 @UnderstoodOrg A1: meet with the principal or New teacher & visit the new school. Becoming familiar with the environment and people are very important #LDchat |

Using ice breakers is a good way to get to know the students on the first day. #LDchat #barbersclass @barbersclass |
| Celia Dozier @TheCeliaD A1 Ask questions and do all that you can to make them comfortable in the new setting. Develop a relationship with them. #LDchat #UMEdTech #EDL577UM |
 | Meagan Gibson @Mgibso26 A1: let them know that they are not alone and you are excited to be working with them this school year. Also maybe have other students introduce themselves to make them feel comfortable #LDchat |
| Amanda Morin @AmandaMorin @barlette_hannah @barbersclass Are there students you'd try to meet before the first day? As a parent, I always wonder if I should ask for that. As a teacher, I used to do it. #LDchat |

| Understood @UnderstoodOrg Great chat so far! Let’s move onto Q2… #ldchat |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg 2. What role does self-advocacy play for a child with #LD when transitioning to a new school with different grade levels? #ldchat https://t.co/gexhM3s12z |
| Amanda Morin @AmandaMorin RT @UnderstoodOrg: 2. What role does self-advocacy play for a child with #LD when transitioning to a new school with different grade levels? #ldchat https://t.co/gexhM3s12z |
| Amanda Morin @AmandaMorin A2 Self-advocacy empowers kids to be less dependent on others and gives them skills to help take on life’s challenges. A new school is a new opportunity for your child to take the lead--as long as you're there for backup, of course. #LDchat |
 | Comm Learning Center @commlearncenter Popping in a little late. Hi, all! #ldchat |
| Angela Lange @angela_lange25 @UnderstoodOrg A1: also request an IEP meeting at the end of the school year & also beginning of the next school year to keep all staff aware of best instructional practices & accommodations #LDchat |
| Amanda Morin @AmandaMorin @commlearncenter Hello friends! Glad to see you. #LDchat |
| Hannah Barlette @barlette_hannah @AmandaMorin @barbersclass As a future educator, I would try to meet with students and parents before the first day to help prepare them for the transition into a new grade level. I would have them ask me any questions or concerns. #ldchat |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg RT @AmandaMorin: A2 Self-advocacy empowers kids to be less dependent on others and gives them skills to help take on life’s challenges. A new school is a new opportunity for your child to take the lead--as long as you're there for backup, of course. #LDchat |
| Amanda Morin @AmandaMorin Great advice. And I'm glad you could make it, @angela_lange25! #LDchat https://t.co/wCe3gX5wfU |
| Amanda Morin @AmandaMorin @barlette_hannah @barbersclass I love that. #ldchat |
| Sarah Geiss Wood, PhD @SarahGeissWood From my experience meeting the teachers can be helpful to know what technology they use and make sure it is compatible with the student's tools. If it is not then trouble shooting could be proactive rather than reactive. #ldchat https://t.co/WLkLL07DO6 |
| Amanda Morin @AmandaMorin A2 I think it's also important to remember that self-advocacy doesn't mean standing up for everything all the time. It can be little things, like figuring who to turn to for help and then turning to them. #LDchat |
| Celia Dozier @TheCeliaD A2 Self advocacy gives students a voice and affords them with the power to be active and responsible in their own learning #LDchat #UMEdTech #EDL577UM |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg Being a good self-advocate can help your child academically and socially. #ldchat https://t.co/Sg3tlRroon |
| Angela Lange @angela_lange25 @UnderstoodOrg A2: at the early Elementary level we use a lot of visuals to build confidence in self advocacy & I really feel educators need more training in ensuring & modeling self advocacy skills within our students #LDchat |

| Amanda Harvie @harvie_um A2: Esp @ the secondary level, s are becoming more and more aware of their feelings and reactions. The recognition of these emotions and the potential to be overwhelmed is such a powerful part of self-awareness. We need to communicate directly about awareness. #UMEdTech #LDchat |
| Sarah Geiss Wood, PhD @SarahGeissWood A2: Student's should play an active role in meeting new teachers and figuring out their new environment. Adult's should support as appropriate but the student's should be given room to learn how to self-advocate. #ldchat https://t.co/Uj55BZUaK6 |
| Amanda Morin @AmandaMorin Yes! The support system is key. They need to be set up for their advocacy to be received well. #LDchat https://t.co/CG7thKC90H |

| Understood @UnderstoodOrg Q3. Who can a child with #LD turn to at a new school for support, and how might that person help? #ldchat https://t.co/MEUqArgEuB |
 | NJSEC @njsec A1: If possible, hold the student's IEP meeting at the new school. Student and family can visit together! #ldchat |
| Amanda Morin @AmandaMorin The ideal answer would be "everybody!" #LDchat https://t.co/vuxWDKTpSz |

| Hannah Barlette @barlette_hannah A2: Self-advocacy plays an important role when it comes to transitioning to new grade levels.

| Understood @UnderstoodOrg Let’s move onto the last question… #ldchat |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg Q4. What’s your best advice for a parent of a child with #LD who’s transitioning to middle school? What about high school? #ldchat https://t.co/v0mLeGpnm9 |
| Amanda Morin @AmandaMorin @angela_lange25 @UnderstoodOrg Sometimes more important, especially as kids get older. Peers and peer approval mean so much to them. (Ahem, says the mom with a sophomore in H.S. and a college student) #LDchat |
| Amanda Morin @AmandaMorin A4 For parents? Don’t panic! Yes, middle and high school are big changes, but don't let your worrying imagination run away with you. Go take a tour, get to know the staff, ask about the schedule, and ask about what things will be drastically different than before. #LDchat |
| Amanda Morin @AmandaMorin A4 For everyone? Keep the lines of communication open. Let kids know you're there and willing to listen to them, but also initiate conversation. It's not easy to do sometimes, but just touching base is important. #ldchat |

| Sarah Geiss Wood, PhD @SarahGeissWood @AmandaMorin I agree! It can be overwhelming but the more information you get the better everyone can prepare for the transition. #ldchat |
| Amanda Harvie @harvie_um A4: Tour the school, meet the teachers, discuss expectations, and see the classrooms. Control as much as you can in advance and make a plan for the uncontrollable. #UMEdTech #LDChat |

| Meagan Gibson @Mgibso26 A4: the biggest transitions from middle school to high school to me was the workload. I would encourage parents to let their kids know how important schoolwork and studying still is and hope they realize that and do it themselves to help prepare for college #LDchat |

| Hannah Barlette @barlette_hannah A4: I would give the parent of the child with LD the information for the SPED teacher they will have the next year (if they are staying the school district). I would ensure that they are in great hands and I will always be here if they need anything. #LDchat #barbersclass |

| LDRFA.org @ldrfa RT RT HannahSposito: A4: My best advice for a parent of a child with LD transiting to middle/high school would be familiarize yourself with the school and staff, ask questions of things that concern you, that way you are not completely worried. #LDchat via UnderstoodOrg #ld #adhd |

| Amanda Morin @AmandaMorin @angela_lange25 @UnderstoodOrg Middle to high was rocky for the oldest, intermediate to middle rocky for the middle one and so far nothing has been rocky for the little guy. He goes from a K-2 to a 3/4 school next year and I wonder about that transition. /1 #Ldchat |
| Amanda Morin @AmandaMorin @angela_lange25 @UnderstoodOrg Peers were super helpful, but the best thing was having just one teacher who they trusted at each school to bridge the gap from old to new. /2 #ldchat |
