      I am glad we are almost finished – we live in a rural school district and everything has been a battle….and we survived – I think!

    My daughter has just started her period within the last 6 months. Along with her period came a regression in potty training. She stays dry at school and overnight. During the day at home she would rather let off a […]

    Grace just started going to a local disabilities worship group run by the church. She goes with a paid chapperone (I use my respite hours for this) who picks her up and drops her back off afterward. She is very happy to have her own activity since her brother has been going all along. I’m so grateful that our church has so many opportunities for…[Read more]

      Hi, Gloria! My daughter started middle school this year and she’s been fine. It was a new school so I was a little worried, too. Check out everything that you can ahead of time and put it in God’s hands. I’m sure Shane will be fine. He’s a handsome somebody-by the way.

        thanks for the response Gemma. I am considering making a request to keep Shane in the 5th grade another year; it was suggested by one of the paras that work with him and since it is not likely that he will be put in the school of our choice, I think it might be a good idea. Most of the students in his class, his friends, will be staying back as…[Read more]

      Hi there – my daughter Alex is 17 and middle school was great for two years (then we relocated) the great experience was around the IEP goals in terms of social interaction and communication – it was very well implemented, she was pariticaping in the regular classrooms with an aide and ciricullum modifications. Unfortunately when we relocated to a…[Read more]

        Hi! Thanks for the response. I am having some reservations about it, its true- I was encouraged to keep him back… I don’t know what to do, but I will pray for God to point me in the right direction. I’ve tried to talk to Shane about going to another school, but he isn’t very aware of what the differences will be… And by the way- I love how…[Read more]
