Therapist School Transition Toolkit
School-related stress can show up through separation anxiety, avoidance, reassurance seeking, perfectionism, irritability, regression, physical complaints, difficult goodbyes, or changes in a child’s behavior across home and school.
The Therapist School Transition Toolkit provides child-centered professional resources for understanding these concerns, guiding caregiver consultations, responding to anxiety patterns, and collaborating with school teams.
This toolkit includes:
• School Transitions Through a Child-Centered Lens
A framework for understanding school-related behavior through the child’s needs for safety, attachment, control, competence, and belonging.
• School Transition Questions
A structured collection of questions covering routines, separation, school history, sensory needs, peer relationships, academic pressures, family changes, and existing supports.
• Caregiver Psychoeducation Guide
Talking points for explaining why school transitions may increase dysregulation and helping caregivers understand behavior without shame.
• Parent Consultation Guide: School Transitions
A flexible consultation structure for gathering concerns, identifying patterns, offering psychoeducation, selecting supportive next steps, and monitoring progress.
• School Support Planning Worksheet
A collaborative tool for documenting triggers, early warning signs, regulation supports, effective responses, consistent language, break and return plans, and the child’s perspective.
These resources can be used during intakes, caregiver consultations, treatment planning, school collaboration, supervision, and ongoing review.
Ideal for:
• Play therapists
• Child and family therapists
• Residents and supervisees
• School counselors
• Social workers
• Other child-serving professionals
Purchase includes permission for one professional to use these resources in their own clinical work and share designated caregiver handouts with their own clients. Files may not be resold, uploaded to shared drives, or distributed to other professionals.
Instant digital download. No physical product will be mailed.
