It is now September 27, 2010 and my son has been officially at school for 6 weeks. Not one single behavior, transition, or episode at school. In the beginning, he was not eating well but that has changed. He loves school and all ready has friends. He is in a great class with understanding teachers. The teacher is using the daily sheet I came up with which is awesome. I know exactly how his day is going. He is doing well with drop off and picking up in the car line. He is truly mainstreamed in every way. I am so happy he is able to enjoy school. My dream was for him to attend Kindergarten fully mainstreamed with no support and that has come true. Now I have to shift my goals and come up with some more. I know my long term goal for my son is to no longer need ABA, SLP, IEP’s, and any other services. I want him to totally function as an individual and he is doing it one day at a time.
He still does 18-22 hours of ABA a week, 2 hours of speech a week, Little Gym class, and now Soccer. He currently takes multi-vitamins and is still Casein Free. We added Gluten back to his diet a year ago and he is doing well. No regression has happened and he continues to make improvements.
His new skills are:
· Independent reading
· Segmenting words
· Counts to 100, counts by 5s and 10s
· Can do all parts of a calendar
· Can draw all parts on the body
· Can write all letters and numbers
· Emerging imagination
· Emerging communication and conversation skills
· Social skills are excelling
· Loves and plays with his sister all the time
· Enjoys camping in our Family Room
· Learned how to fish
· Learning how to play a Leapster
· Computer skills are excellent
Great job Alan Boy!!!
