Welcome to JourneyWise! We continue the conversation with Dr. Pokey Stanford and James Kent about school and education, answering questions of how to help your child who you sense or know has learning or behavioral challenges. From anxiety to developmental disabilities, parents need to communicate with schools, advocate for their children and seek like-minded parents to walk the journey with them.

Resources:
If you suspect your child is struggling with Anxiety, ask your
pediatrician to perform the GAD 7 – Generalized Anxiety Disorder
assessment.
