Adalynn

Adalynn had previously received some special education services due to her developmental delays. However, when reevaluation came up in 2019, Adalynn no longer qualified for an individualized education plan. Her performance in kindergarten was low and she had a lot of anxiety and overall social and emotional stress. Meanwhile, Adalynn's mother was moving back with her mom after a divorce and was waiting either to be able to afford further testing or wait for her symptoms and behaviors to get worse in order to get approved for more evaluations to prove the need for specialized help at school. Adalynn had some very low "lows" and very high "highs" in the meantime and a great deal of debilitating anxiety and fear of failure, a lack of friends, and other behavioral difficulties. Starry Foundation gave Adalynn's family the answers they needed to help her both at home and at school.
