End-of-year teacher meetings can leave parents with feelings and vague feedback, but no real plan. In this episode, Dr. Amy Patenaude shares a simple way to turn "transitions are hard" and "let's see how next year goes" into Owner + Data + Date so you leave with clear next steps, a fall review point, and a one-page handoff for next year's teacher.

• How to turn "He struggles with transitions" into something specific you can actually plan for
• The Owner + Data + Date framework: who does what, what you track, and when you review
• Which simple data points matter most (without turning school into a spreadsheet project)
• How to ask for supports that are specific and consistent, not just "we do breaks"
• How to get a one-page handoff so you're not starting over in August
• What to say when you're worried about "Do we need more support or testing next year?"

• Write one sentence you'll use in the meeting and bring it with you (notes are allowed).
• Start a 7-day "dot log" at home: one sentence per day about transitions, conflict, or homework.
• Practice one micro-transition at home with a timer: "In 2 minutes, we're switching."
• Send one short follow-up email after the meeting: "Here's what I heard… Owner, Data, Date."
• Pick one. One is enough.
