Andy Updates

Andy is doing well in school. It's been a no news is good news type deal with him. His early childhood class/4K is now an intergrated class with a regular and special ed teacher, 2 assistant teachers and more kids. The day was extended by 25 min also. I am seeing signs for "me" and "more" frequently and he is starting to make more sounds. There are the rare times I've sworn I heard a word from him, and I take it and run with it :-) He is doing much better with sitting and attending to a task now. He will also put a spoon in his mouth, until I put food on it. It's a start.

I heard last week from the supervisor from Eric's therapy provider that Andy's funding for his ABA therapy should come through by the end of this year, and could be starting therapy by January. Tomorrow the county caseworker comes, and she will know more. I'm really hoping this is correct. School is great for him, but he really needs more help so he can progress. It is hard for me to do that with 2 other kids to care for, and not much guidance from the school or anyone else. I will update this if I find out more.
