Professional Perspective: Navigating Educational Instability** -School records show Noah moved frequently between Texas and Colorado, a pattern I recognize from my career as **highly disruptive** to a child’s development. Despite this, Jason consistently: -- **Facilitated seamless transitions** (e.g., ensuring Noah’s enrollment in new schools within days of moves, per withdrawal/entry records). -- **Collaborated with educators** to address behavioral concerns (e.g., responding to teacher referrals in Colorado on [specific dates, if verifiable]). -- **Advocated for support services**, including counseling (referenced in Colorado school notes). +School records show Noah moved frequently between Texas and Colorado - a pattern I recognize as **highly disruptive** to a child's development.
