we visited the new school today

[raelien]

we went with colin to visit his new placement - and WOW!

 

There are five kids - a teacher and two ta's - one extra because A is blind. - the class room is fantastic - each with there own work station -

 

 

colin will get to go riding - swimming - do trampolining - he will have speach therapy - and music therapy.

 

hes going to thrive.

 

And becuase its a unit attached to a fab school - they try to encourage mainstreme interaction whenever and wherever possible.

 

 

His teacher was amazing with him - for the first time I didnt feel I had to explain his actions they knew what to expect and had all the answers for him - it was great - i have never felt so comfortable around a teacher before because I knew - that she already knew what to do and how to deal with him at his worse.

 

I know im counting chickens before they are hatched - but I have a good feeling about this - he should be able to cope better at a much smaller country school.

 

he cant wait for monday - but it will be his first time we havnt taken him to school - a mini bus comes for him! so he's a bit worried about that.

Sounds like a really nice place, I really hope he thrives there.

Makes all the difference when you see that the staff have understanding without you having to explain everything.

 

All the very best to you and your boy
