Starting school is such a big time in a childs life; being able to explore a bigger part of the world, meeting new people, new experiences and learning a lot of new things.

In today's episode of Raising Parents, Dina spoke to registered Psychologist, Ann-Elizabeth Magiris. Ann started working as an ABA therapist, in the early 2000’s, for children with autism. This led her to work with the Victorian school system to provide assessments for children learning difficulties and mental health plans. Ann-elizabeth became the owner of Healthy Young Minds in Bundoora, Victoria. HYM provides services on from School assessments and learning support to child counseling and parent coaching.
Tune into the episode to hear Ann and Dina define the “school readiness assessment” for parents and also provide information on what parents can do to prepare their children for school in the months before they’re set to start school.
