Springtime Flowers

Spring is the perfect time to refresh routines, revisit IEP goals, and support your child’s growth. As the season changes, so do learning needs, making this a great moment for families to reconnect with their child’s special education services.

Spring Check‑In: Review IEP Goals

A quick spring IEP review helps ensure your child’s supports stay aligned with their progress.

Look at:

• Current IEP goals

• Accommodations and/or modifications

• Sensory or behavior changes

  
  

Refresh Routines for Spring

New weather, field trips, and schedule changes can impact your child’s day.

Try:

• Visual schedules

• Updated morning/evening routines

• Sensory support for allergies, heat, or noise

  
  

Spring Learning Activities

Use the season to build skills through hands‑on, sensory‑friendly activities:

• Planting seeds

• Life cycle exploration

• Spring sensory bins

• Nature walks with vocabulary cards

Strengthen Home–School Communication

Stay connected with your child’s team as testing and transitions approach. Ask about upcoming assessments, skill focus areas, and ways to support learning at home.

Plan Ahead for Summer & ESY

Spring is when schools begin planning for Extended School Year (ESY). Review data, ask about eligibility, and explore summer programs early.

Celebrate Spring Growth

Notice and celebrate your child’s progress, whether the progress is big or small. Spring is a season of blooming, and your child is growing too.
