Mid year review

We received notification from our FRC that it is time for her to do our mid year review and then our next step will be to get ready for preschool. Talk about fast, it seems like we only just started this and have barely gotten our feet yet.

It is becoming a time of unknown. Will Little Bug qualify for preschool? We hope so. The plan from everyone in the system, has always been that of course that he would go to preschool. But, apparently, due to the progress he has made, there is doubt as to whether he would qualify. We will have to have him evaluated by the school district and get recommendations from the wizard- the wonderful neurologist who diagnosed Little Bug- as well as his current therapists. Monday was the first time anyone expressed doubt about him qualifying- well, he does have a diagnosis, so that's a good thing.

If anyone has tips or suggestions or even a vague idea about how this process works, please let us know. I have to say everyone involved has been as vague as humanly possible while still speaking to us.

Even during this time of ambiguity, we are adding new therapies- speech and brushing as well as home made therapies. We are working on item recognition. While its great that he can say quite a few words, he doesn't always get that a word represents an idea or object. So, we have crafted a home game using memory cards to have him match pictures- which keeps him interested as it is a puzzle- and having him name the objects.
