The One-Pager

Back to school night is not a 45-minute event.

Not for us. You’re not just meeting the teacher — you’re deciding how much to tell her, on night one, in a hallway, in front of other parents. Too little and she’s unprepared. Too much and she’s already formed a picture of your kid.

So I made a one-page version of my son. Strengths first, then the things someone genuinely needs to know to keep him safe and get a good year out of him. It’s the fairest thing I’ve figured out how to do, and I’m giving it away free.

What’s on it:

  • The three things you most want them to know — who they are, before any diagnosis
  • What helps, and what’s hard — each one paired with what to actually do
  • A medical section built for what people get wrong: what a reaction looks like, how long after exposure, and what not to assume
  • A food and eating section that says the “please don’t” part out loud — no tastes, no bargaining, no food as a reward
  • How to reach you, and what you want to hear about — including the small things

Free. Instant download. One page — print it as many times as you need, for every teacher, aide, sub, and specialist who asks.


I’m Renée. I make these because I needed them first — usually at 2am, usually the night before an appointment. If you’re carrying a lot right now, you’re in the right place.
