SELF ASSESSMENT

$0.00

The Surviving the System™ Self-Assessment is a guided, fillable tool designed to help parents understand how the California special education process impacts their nervous system, emotions, and sense of advocacy. Many parents feel overwhelmed by timelines, meetings, assessments, and the pressure to protect their child in a system that moves quickly. This assessment slows everything down and helps you identify the exact areas where stress, confusion, or uncertainty are affecting your clarity and confidence.

Through simple reflection questions, the assessment highlights emotional triggers, nervous system responses, advocacy strengths, and rights-based knowledge gaps. It also helps parents recognize patterns of overwhelm that often go unnoticed but affect every IEP conversation.

This worksheet is ideal for families navigating IEP meetings, evaluations, FBAs, or school communication stress. It helps you enter the room calmer, more grounded, and better prepared to speak as an equal member of the team.
