little victories are worth the effort

> Hello to all,

> I have been so busy this week, but I have been wanting to write and share

the *wonderful* pre-IEP team meeting I had with Graham's team last Tuesday.

Everyone ( and I mean everyone) on the team was raving about all the gains

he has been demonstrating this last quarter. Socially, he is starting to

bloom, asking other kids to play, sharing things and generally being much

more aware of his surroundings. He is now listening to stories and sitting

near the teacher so he can see the pictures in books; he passed his addition

facts time test, making up the sentences for the weekly spelling tests, etc.

His current sub teaching assistant (other one quit-long story) hasn't worked

with him since fall and she said he was like a totally different child. We

all agreed on 2nd grade for next year with support and I was walking on air

when I left! He has been GFCF since middle of January, and I really believe

it is helping him so much. Plus, he recently started his supplement regimen

from the Pfeiffer Treatment Center here in Naperville. Anyway, I am long

winded, but the happy stories of others encourage me, too, so hopefully mine

will be encouraging. It is so worth the effort! Everyone have a terrific

week.

Chicago 'burbs--Jewel, Meijer, etc.

Hi ,

It is great to hear of your son's progress!! And people say that diet

doesn't have any effect on the brain! Boy, you are proving them wrong! We,

too, are having similar success. Keep up the great work!
