Trevor update

We had a meeting at school last Thursday to discuss his education plan. Trevor will qualify for services at school through special education. He scored as having difficulty with "executive function" which means planing and executing his work. He will learn how to maximize the skills he does have. The testing revealed that they are able to rule out pervasive development disorder (autism) as a diagnosis. This is such a huge relief. He has really come a long way this year!!! For those who dont know, Trevor is VERY intelligent. He scored on his IQ test between very high average and superior in math. He is so good with numbers and science. WE know his brain has challenges, so now he will get his IEP and we will be able to fully help him maximize his skills. I knew he was good with numbers, just didnt know he was that good. He is self-teaching himself multiplication. And this week, for the first time, he initiated doing his own homework without prompting. I am so proud of him and so happy that we have a wonderful school district to work with us in helping Trevor achieve his educational goals. hopefully afer this year, he will be ahead in many areas. (proud mama!)
