New Year....New Strategies

Happy New Year! I'm sorry it's been so long since I've written! Jackson has continued to progress behaviorally at school (thank heavens!). He's now able to sit in the classroom, sit in the reading circle during rainbow time, and even sit to participate in a lesson. Since his behavior is now "under control" we are now able to work on academics and have learned he's really behind, which is nothing new to us. So, he continues to work with his aide every day and also sees the resource room teacher and school OT and PT, which has continued to help.

We saw a specialist today in a town a few hours from our house - known as a developmental pediatrician and came highly recommended for children who were delayed. We have a friend whose son has autism and she really liked this physician. So, after 6 months of waiting for the appointment...our day FINALLY came.....I'll write more this week on what we learned - or didn't learn - and the importance of mother's intuition.
