Power UP by Learning Essentials aims to support children living with medical needs. We create a liaison position for families, educators, and medical professionals. Together we communicate and collaborate to individually address childhood symptoms, to creatively implement classroom-based strategies, and to make it a good day.

Consultation:

• Design customized action plans to support your child’s academic success
• Create transition plans to ease transfer from hospital to school
• Empower positive change, one day at a time

“School IEP meetings could feel daunting, and I would not have time and energy to prepare as I would like. Having the Power UP team, who understood and knew our son well, by our side made us feel empowered and confident that our son’s educational needs and medical recommendation would be carefully reviewed and appropriately applied. The collective experience, advocacy and dedication to students at Power UP is invaluable. I am grateful for their guidance through the early years of our son’s educational needs.”

– Alex’s Mom
