Sp how has everyone's week been??? Mines been up and down. I've been sick still with this stupid head cold that won't go away, then it travelled to my chest and I've got an infection now I had to take today off work in order to rest... and I slept 4 hours.
M's been.... well up & down. Some days she's unbelievable, but then days like today, she's trying so hard and yet can't control herself... but you can see her trying. Its hard for everyone I suppose.
Hugs Christy, hope you get better soon. We have to catch up Riley still asks about you and Erin loves M!
The EI teacher from school has been observing R when they are playing with the pre school kids ( he is at preschool and the EI unit usually goes and plays with them in the yard) She thinks he may have verbal dyspraxia so we will investigate that.
My ASD boy at school used to go to Lifetstart and his mum said that they had a meeting last night about school integration and that both she and the lady in charge of the program gave me a great rap for being kind, caring and making T's transition to school so easy. I got all teary, its nice to be appreciated and I feel so happy that his experience with maninstream schooling is so positive. (sorry to blow my own trumpet but I felt so proud)
I have to move this weekend, it's been a really sad time for us. Even though I want to kill Nikki most of the time for his lack of patience with DS, and even though we argue all the time...it's going to be the last time we will be together in our fractured little way
Nik won't be able to mosey on in and hang out with us anymore, he just won't be able to see the kids so much - or drive me crazy...
I checked out the potential new school today. I really like it. 6 little boys speaking beautifully to the visitor (me!), in a quiet classroom with a teacher that clearly loves them but won't take an ounce of crap from any of them. If it sounds scary think again - firm, clear boundaries and rules are what keeps my boy feeling secure. I hope he can get in soon.
You rock mrsmac, it makes all the difference in the world to know a teacher 'gets' what level your child is on. I have often driven away from school in tears of gratitude from DS's carers xoxoxoxo
Lu as you know I love your blog. Its fantastic! I needed my debrief thread I put on here... it helped me so much in debriefing and seeing how much I actually knew about M. YKWIM?
mrsmac, I don't doubt that you are an amazing teacher. You actually CARE about the kids which is a wonderful thing!
Thankyou ladies I am blushing. I do love my class very much so its nice sometimes to have that recognised.
Lulu- I spoke to T's mum re funding, she said get in touch with ASPECT and they should be able to point you in the right direction. Is the new school public or private? Will thye help you get funding for classroom support? I get 3 1/2 hrs a week for T in class so you should get similar for Cyclone I would imagine.
There you go - rockin all over the world again Mrsmac...Thank you so much.
The new school is independent too, but caters for the aspys so no classroom help will be needed. Sadly and FRUSTRATINGLY the thousands of funding we are eligible for isn't able to be used for school fees. Frackin.
yeah, Christy - I think it's really going to help xoxoxo
Lucy in the sky with diamonds.
I had to take today off work in order to rest... and I slept 4 hours.
