It can be used when your child enters a new grade, moves to a new school, or is preparing for a big transition. It can also be used in early childhood when a child attends daycare or preschool. The document can be the summary of your <a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/adding-and-all-about-me-book-to-your-advocacy-at-the-iep-table\/id1530453928?i=1000509411996\">All About Me Book<\/a> that you send out in the summer, a stand-alone resource, or your \u201cgo-to\u201d for the beginning of the year.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This one-pager will allow you to drive the narrative for your child.

We have provided a basic template below. But this information can be presented in various ways, including a pamphlet, resume style, etc. The most important item on the document, regardless of the format, is your child\u2019s picture.
