PAP 036:

Repeating a Grade in School

with Rebecca Eisenberg, MS, CCC-SLP

In this episode of the Parenting ADHD Podcast, I’m talking with speech-language pathologist and author of “My Second Year of Kindergarten,” Becca Eisenberg, about repeating a grade in school. Listen in as we discuss the signs that a child might need to repeat a grade, the aspects of school to think about when making the decision, and how to walk your child through acceptance and the transition.
