What would you do different???

[Guest guest]

Thank you all so very much for sharing your thoughts and wisdom with me. I

am very appreciative of this group. Most of you have been where I am going

and it is very helpful for me to pick your brains. Along with the wisdom that

I get from you all and the work that I do will contribute to helping my son

live a good quality of life. I am trying to do all that I can to help him.

I admire my son's will and fortitude because he has had several setbacks and

he doesn't give up. During the summer of 2002 he became ill and lost all of

his skills and completely stopped talking. It took several years for him to

fight his way back and regain the skills that he lost and in the process

gain new skills and he is able to express his wants and needs quite well.

Before he became ill he was a fluent reader. Consequently, he is working on

building the fluency up to where he lost it. He is a great kid and we are very

proud of him.

My biggest concern is getting the school district to see what we see at home

and change their expectations for him. A young man that is willing and able

to learn.

Thanks again and I wish you all much success for your children.

Good luck . Remember never give up. Keep talking, asking questions and do

not take NO for an answer. Mothers have a lot of power.
