The Conference Kit
What to bring, what to ask, and what to send afterward, from someone who's sat on both sides of the table.
For the parent who keeps hearing "they're doing great" and driving home wondering why home doesn't look like that. A 20-page printable kit, US letter size.
A one-page "how my kid works" profile for the teacher, with a filled-in example
Ten questions that get past "they're fine"
A teacher-talk translator and scripts for the hard moments
A minute-by-minute plan for the fifteen minutes
The follow-up emails, plus a middle and high school version
An honest page on what not to put in writing, and why
Leave one on the shelf: a family who can't afford the kit right now gets a copy free, no questions asked. Shelf copies are purchases, so they aren't tax-deductible.
Built Different is education, not therapy.
