14 Ways to Help Your Child with Special Needs Succeed in a Religious School

8. Share your enthusiasm for religion with your child. Talk with your child about they will be learning during the year, and why it is important to you. Celebrate religious holidays at home and show that it matters to YOU as well. Walk the walk. Let your child know that you have confidence in their ability to master the content, and that you believe it will be a positive part of their life.
