The New Diagnosis Workbook
A Family Field Guide for the First Year After Any Disability Diagnosis
The diagnosis was the beginning of the information. This is how you organize it.
For the family in the first year after any disability diagnosis who needs a structured guide to building knowledge, navigating services, and becoming their child's advocate.
The Name It First Experience
The New Diagnosis Workbook is for the family in the first year after a disability diagnosis who is drowning in clinical information with no clear next step. Not a grief guide. Not a medical reference. A structured family-side tool for organizing everything the medical team cannot do for you — the knowledge you need to build, the services you need to find, and the advocate you need to become before the next meeting. You have received information. What you need is a plan. The output is not a diagnosis summary. It is Your First Year Plan.
You can opt into 30-, 60-, and 90-day check-ins from your account. We recommend you do — the point is to see what changed.
Sample questions
- What do you most need to understand in this first year — about the diagnosis, about your child, about what comes next?
- What is the most important thing your family needs to build right now: knowledge, plan, or advocate identity?
- What does a good first year after this diagnosis look like — for your child and for your family?
