The School Reconnection Pathway
A Structured, Practical Approach
Moving from School Can’t to re-engagement with learning at -
your child’s pace .
S.T.A.P.L.E - The 6 Components of
The School Reconnection Pathway
Creating emotional, nervous system, and environmental safety so your child can begin to feel secure again around learning & school.
S - Safety First
Understanding your child’s unique profile - how their brain works, what’s underneath the ‘can’t’, and what they are communicating through their behaviour.
T - Tune In
shifting away from ‘one size fits all’ and towards realistic expectations that match your child’s capacity.
A - Adjust Expectations
Working collaboratively with your child, your supports, and (where possible) the school to create a plan that actually fits.
P - Partner & Plan
Focusing on small, achievable steps that rebuild confidence, reduce overwhelm, and create momentum over time.
L - Little Steps Forward
(Rebuild)
Gradually widening your child’s world - reconnecting with learning, school, and life in a way that is sustainable.
E - Expand & Re-engage
The School Reconnection Pathway is a way parents can support their child right now. It focuses on what you can do in the present to support your child’s re-engagement with school and learning.
