As school begins, albeit virtually for many, and as the days grow cooler, we begin to shift away from the lazy days of outdoor living to a new way of doing things.

Get Advice for Your Child’s Educational Needs
This back-to-school season is unlike all others, and many parents are worried about their children’s education. Thankfully, SHEMESH, which offers support for children with learning differences, has introduced a new hotline. Call 410-843-7589 to speak to professionals on everything from how to make your child feel less anxious to how to support your developing reader at home.
SHEMESH also invites parents to participate in CHADD (Children and Adults with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder), a monthly support group.
