Thank you. Both boys’ applications have been approved. I appreciate the way you helped me with the boys, we’re available over the weekend, promptly completed the evaluation and receipt, and provided a thorough report with solutions. I feel empowered and well-equipped.

Good morning. Yes the report is very helpful and something that feels like it was overdue. I did share the report with his school and have had several meetings. I have chosen to continue his speech and tutoring at school so he can remain at camp this summer. His speech therapist uses the Lindamood bell system and they know how to tutor him between your report and a test he took in Kindergarten.Thank you very much for everything!

Thanks for following up, sorry for taking a while to reply it’s been busy lately. X is almost done with second grade, only this time the goals from the IEP were not met either in math or reading, according to the school psychologist she is at grade level for reading, however the teacher doesn’t share this opinion. I submitted your report to the school psychologist in January, she said she would review it and do her testing and get back to us, she only finished the testing a week ago, and concluded: learning disability for math and problems with short term working memory.We had a meeting with the school last week to prepare the IEP for next year( as usual it was frustrating because a couple of people arrive late and  unprepared, we can see that they have not have time to communicate between each other and are trying to get organized there).We have decided  that X will go to the  Homeschool, which we love and are thrilled to have found such a great change in our lives.  The space is beautiful and bright, currently there are 12 kids homeschooling, they go from 8:30-2:00, and its personalized, they learn how to work independently and the curriculum is tailored to their needs and interests. The teachers are extremely prepared in the field and they come in to teach Math, Science and Spanish, they use  an online program to do art. The director is is an amazing person who genuinely cares about the academic progress of each  student.

Thank you for following up.  I shared the report with the school and they implemented a 504 plan for X.  They are saying they cannot create an IEP for him because they need to accumulate “data” (using the RTI) over a specific amount of time and based on those results, he will need to be evaluated by their psychologist.  It doesn’t look like he will be able to obtain one this academic year.We started tutoring sessions using the Wilson Reading system and will start incorporating math with the same tutor.  I have Math U See at home that was left over from the homeschool curriculum I purchased, but I find the blocks are more of a distraction and they end up getting played with like Legos.  I’m looking into other options.

School is going good so far and he started all his services this week. Unfortunately I can’t say we’re doing  as good at home. we’ve changed up his medication but that as shown not to help.  I’m back to the drawing board today with his pediatrician. We seem to be dealing with more tantrums and emotional meltdowns  over the small stuff. Needless to say it’s taking a toll. I think it’s time to possibly have him seen by a therapist I’m not sure if a mood stabilizer would help him. For this afternoon meltdowns are definitely affecting his outside therapy. I’ve decided to give them a break from private therapy for a few weeks since he is getting it in school. I’m hoping that partially this is just the adjustment to a new school routine wake up time etc.

Thank you for following up.  is doing good. We are working with Dr. X. Also, X is on medication and the school gave him the 504 plan that allows him to move in class, get some extra time if he needs it and reduce assignments. Taking one day at a time. Thank you again.

Good morning! All the balls are rolling in the right direction. The school is working on initial 504 meeting. I have a initial parent appointment with X for ADD therapy today. X has several books on ADD to read. His pediatrician put him on X.As far as school, he is having the same problems but keeping his grades up. I am hopeful therapy will help with this area. We may adjust medication as well in the future.Thank you for all your help!!! I have referred your name to a few friends if they decide to get a comprehensive evaluation!!!  We continue to pray that God puts the right people and professionals in X’s journey in life.
