Parent Help Desk - YarraMe School supporting students with complex needs who are learning from home

In response to current COVID19 restrictions with Melbourne metropolitan schools in remote learning mode, YarraMe School has a Parent Help Desk for parents and carers to assist in supporting children with complex needs who are learning from home. 

YarraMe's Help Desk https://www.yarrame.vic.edu.au/help-desk.html

can assist with:

•          understanding a child's behaviour 

•          providing personalised one to one telephone consultation with a special education               teacher

•          discussion of a pathway for the family to seek formal diagnosis of learning                                 disabilities

•          discussion about behavioural support strategies

•          advice on setting up learning environments

•          providing targeted resources

•          referral to external services. 

The purpose of this service is to provide parents and carers with the opportunity to discuss their child's behaviours, which may be impeding their ability to learn at home.

The Help Desk can also help parents and carers to successfully navigate potential intervention pathways for their child.

Please see the flyer attached. There is no cost associated with these services.
