With a new school year starting, lets check in! (Even if your DC doesn't go to school, lets hear how its going!)

How is everyone doing with therapy/class?

Ryan is doing really good. Still doing speech 3x individual and OT 2x individual and in the self contained class, his therapists are really happy with his progress. He loves taking the bus again too. He seems to like his teacher also. I am not a fan of her, but he seems to be happy, so thats all that matters.. I have never in my life seen a teacher who works with 3 year olds be so cold or unfriendly.. weird. but he doesn't seem to notice, so ok! He seems to have become REALLY shy too. He is ok around family, but anyone else, even teachers he sees everyday, he is incredibly shy. But I was the same way as a kid, so I guess thats just him.

I can't believe how much difference year has made with him. Last year at this time he just started school in an EI class, and was only saying "Ball" and "Dada".. now he is saying sentences and you can have a conversation with him, its amazing!

Christopher attends Building Blocks in the Pre-school class. He is making REALLY nice progress. I am so happy for him. He knows all his colors, most animals, letters, shapes and numbers.
He is more focused ( I am hoping it is because of the GF/CF diet) He is still hyper, but follows directions much better, more social with us and his brother. I LOVE his new teacher. She really has the class very structured.
He receives OT..3x a week, and Speech 4x individual, and 1 x in a group.
I couldnt be more proud of him. We still have a ways to go, but little steps

Bryan is doing great.
He goes to school M,W,F through E.I.
On Tues/Thurs he gets special instruction in the home (his teacher comes here and he gets 1 on 1).
He gets Speech 2x 45
PT 2x 45
OT 2x 30 at school
He still has a long way to go with speech, but, we are seeing big improvements.
Made my day yesterday when therapist said "Best session ever"
I hope and pray he keeps it up.
He's such a good boy. So very easy going! Great listener. Follows directions.
Loves playdates and loves just hanging at home.
