School is almost over. Dean has made such great accomplishments this past year, He went from echolalia(echo for short) which is where he could not communicate with us, he could only repeat what he has heard, to making friends and learning and communicating. It was such an awsome experience to watch him grow that much. Dean has a friend named Grant, and Grant and his dad stopped by the house last Sunday to see Dean, it was amazing to watch him actually interact with a child. I know Grant's mama Emily has told us about how much she has seen him grow at school. It is so wonderful to see how other parents notice the changes in Dean.
At our last school meeting, we received the "awsome" news that Dean would be recieving a 1 on 1 teachers assistant, an autism specialist to work with him 2 hours a day for 2 days a week, extended school year, and is GRADUATING kindergarten this year!!!!!!! six months ago that would have never been told to us I don't think....
So, my new motto in life is....."Never give up fighting for your kids, eventually they will listen, you just might have to talk a little louder" --Paula Weippert
