Is school challenging for your child with bipolar disorder? Many kids with bipolar disorder become very frustrated with school. Parents and teachers also may get frustrated when they don't know what to do to help. BPChildren has a few new downloads for parents and teachers:

1.  Sample Letter to Request School Testing.

2.  Sample Accommodations

3.  Sample Parent Agenda

4. Having trouble explaining how mood stability affects your child's needs in the classroom? Try using this download which is included in my book SWIVEL to Success: Levels of Stability/Flexibility 

5. Is your child having sensory issues in the classroom? Help your teacher evaluate the classroom environment for triggers. Classroom Environment
