Brenden is just about done with his preschool days. At the end of August our little boy will be going to Kindergarten. Wow! Where has the time gone? It seems just a little bit ago he was such a tiny little thing. Not that he was ever tiny, but he was such a snuggle bunny. He still is at times but not like an infant is. But life must go on and our children do grow up.
As some of you know, Brenden has been officially diagnoses with ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) by his specialist. Him being diagnosed really doesn't change anything other than him going into the public school system. Everything is done off of a diagnoses and testing by therapist.
Since Brenden already has an IEP and is delayed with speech we have already had most of the school transitional meetings. One was in February to meet most of the people on the team in getting him ready. On May 16 we were able to go and see the kindergarten class rooms and meet the teachers. He seemed very excited by the classrooms. He actually surprised both of us by how interested he was in it all.
One May 21, we got to have a brief meeting with the school psychologist, principal, speech therapist and the Autistic support person for the classrooms. This meeting really put our minds at ease and we feel he is ready to go.
We will have one more meeting at the beginning of August to know who his actual teacher is and iron out any other details that we need too.
I'm sure there will be tears the day he goes to school. He is growing up so fast. We all must appreciate the the small things in life.
