ellisisamazing Report post Posted July 12, 2007 El came home with his end of term report last week and it is brilliant! He has made significant progression, is now involved and takes notice of his environment, is active rather passive and uses his gesture skills to communicate! He will turn pages on a book and gets involved in tasks and basic puzzles now! And uses a pen with a good grip. He is using simple maths puzzles incorporating 123 into games, he has decreased his need to lick everthing (haha ) and behaves well around animals, loves his horseriding and demonstrates a love of scientific exploration (Future Einstein, obviously!!!!) and has developed fine motor sklls! I am so proud I could burst!! He is also making choices and meltdowns are extremely rare, tolerates group/team work with no problems!! And has apparentely been a pleasure to teach!! On his sports day he came second in his race, and I was chuffed for him. Lovely to see him class too, and his fab little classmates! Parents Evening was also really positive, he is doing so good that come Sept 08, he should able to move up to the next class and out of the key stage group if he continues to improve like he has currently! His teacher showed us some footage they had taken during his time there, and in the 15 months he's been there the change is miraculous, he looks like a different boy. He used to have an almost stoned look about him and now he is super smiley, giggly and very inquisitive!! He has a fab teacher and great assistants!! He is five very soon and I am having a party for him, and his sister (she will be 3), I can't wait......we have lots to celebrate! And I am looking forward to meeting up with his classmates parents, we did invites the other day and some of the children have never been invited out before, which is so sad......I remember when El used to be ignored at mainstream nursery when it came to parties and it so hurts. So we are going all out and will be having a facepainter and a balloon artist!! Just wanted to share some nice stuff with you lovely lot! <'> Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ellisisamazing Report post Posted July 12, 2007 Thanks Pearl! And now you're making me cry!!! (I can't blame the Vino, this early in the day!!! ), But life is excellent, I saw some of those lovely kids at the school who are stuck in wheelchairs unable to smile, see, talk, walk and laugh and I just realised all the special things El CAN do......and he and we are so lucky for what he can do. I am immensely proud!!! We still have lots of things to try and overcome, but I have lots of hope and belief in whatever he achieves...however small!

Aah, thanks Karen! <'> I am so proud, I get carried away!! El came home last night from school with his 'gold' medal on a ribbon, I went out earlier and bought a box frame to place it in and I am going to display it with pride! It really is exciting when things start falling into the right place, I know we have a long way to go, but all the small things make a big difference!
