So...we have some very exciting news!! It looks like Ryan will be joining his typical class for Science very soon!! We'll know for sure when by the end of the week. This is the most amazing news! The more typical classes that Ryan returns to, means the more his brain is developing and can begin to handle a typical school workload. Apparently his math skills are really taking off (Ryan has always had more strength in Math) and his teachers think he might be able to handle the science curriculum. He will still have some accommodating for his writing and reading but this is truly exciting news.
Ryan also mastered another level in his tracing. That's 2 levels in 2 weeks! Apparently a new world record. So after some initial struggle and frustration, it seems like things are falling into place. We had a huge discussion about short term "pain" and longer term "gain". I was glad to have some concrete examples relevant to his world. All of this great news has renewed Ryan's motivation to stay in homework club and work really diligently at his program. It's been tricky for the past couple of weeks - this was some much needed good news!!
Happy Thursday!
