Guest guest Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 As I look back over the years and recall in vivid detail the struggles and challenges that my son faced with his global apraxia and my consant advocating for an approperate education,iep,accommodations and getting his diagnosed recongized by the school,teachers,and school board. All the while being told repeatly he couldn't, wouldn't from the school and board.It was an impossible dream and my expectations were to high ect. I chose to follow my heart , have some faith and beleived with everything he could do anything nothing was impossible I watched his painfully slow progress in speaking ect So I knew he could do anything. I am proud to tell you in a few short weeks my son will graduate from highschool and will be attending college this fall. He is taking a 3 year computer programer analyst program. Someone asked me if I would do it again the answer was simple in a heartbeat. This is my reward and thanks for being just a mom to an amazing son. Thanks from my heart and all of you for the support over the years you were always there when I needed it. Couldn't have done it with out you all.
