In Part 1, she gave advice about how to work with the public school system. Part 2 described and provided downloads for five of the pages she uses in the <em>All About Me <\/em>notebook she gives her son&#8217;s teachers at the beginning of each school year. This post provides five more downloads and descriptions you can adapt for your child&#8217;s circumstances.<\/p>\n<h3>All About Me Notebook Page Descriptions<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>About My Illness: The first page of this section is a listing of diagnoses followed by information about each diagnosis.<\/li>\n<li>Educational Information: Again, this section has a brief cover page description, followed by information about how the diagnosis affects the child&#8217;s educational experience. Parents can get information from physicians, therapists or reputable websites. Two example downloads of educational documents are also listed below.<\/li>\n<li>Resources: Lists of books and websites where educators can find more information about the child&#8217;s disorder, condition, or disease. The example contains resources about bipolar disorder. If your child has a different diagnosis, you will need to replace these resources with those pertaining to your child&#8217;s situation.<\/li>\n<li>The Storm in My Brain: Cover sheet introducing a booklet about this child&#8217;s specific condition.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>All About Me Notebook Downloads<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/jolenephilo.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/Generic-All-About-My-Illnesses.pdf\">All About My Illnesses<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/jolenephilo.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/Generic-Education-Information.pdf\">Education Information<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/jolenephilo.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/Educator.pdf\">Educational Download 1<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/jolenephilo.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/edbrochure.pdf\">Educational Download 2<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/jolenephilo.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/Resources.pdf\">Resources<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/differentdream.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/The-Storm-in-My-Brain.pdf\">The Storm in My Brain<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If all these downloads make you feel overwhelmed, don&#8217;t worry.
