Seeking Support as School Year Draws Near

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- It’s hard to believe that back-to-school displays are in full force in the stores already.

Before we know it, the kids will be back in class, and life will be back to business as usual. Most students will acclimate easily to the educational, social and emotional responsibility associated with school, however, there are those students and families who deal with challenges and pressures that can make an average school day extraordinarily difficult.

Many of these students have special needs that may or may not be recognized by the school itself. And, for those parents of these children, it can be a frustrating maze trying to find help for them within the school.
