Last Day of School Tomorrow
Tomorrow, Peter and Nathan are finished with school for the year.
As I mentioned in a previous post, Peter will be mainstreamed (gulp) into kindergarten next year. Nathan will likely be placed in a "reverse" class (his teacher has made this recommendation but the school system is completely restructuring the special education classes so I'm not sure where he will be placed). A reverse class sounds like what it is-- it is a class that transitions or reverses a child out of the special ed program and into a regular classroom setting.
Nathan will likely always have little "quirks" but he is doing a thousands times better than he was two years ago. He's still behind his peers developmentally in several areas but he's catching up very nicely.
Peter is still behind as well but he too is doing much, much better. He finally starting to starting to say things in the first person-- instead of "Do you want more milk?" He has started to consistently say, "I want more milk." He's also trying to engage in play more. He still doesn't initiate play but I'm hopeful that a class full of neurotypical kids will give him behavior examples he can learn from.
