Rachel Kapp, M.Ed., BCET, and Stephanie Pitts, M.Ed., BCET explore a common concern they hear from parents: the fear that seeking support for their learner will lead to stigma—within their family, cultural community, or even in how their child sees themselves. They unpack why these fears are so prevalent and why they make complete sense, especially for families navigating cultural messages around achievement, privacy, and struggle. They also reframe the conversation to demonstrate that getting help is not a sign that something is “wrong,” but that it can be viewed as a proactive step toward giving learners the tools they need to thrive.
