There are many pieces to our autism puzzle & one of the pieces that has a huge impact on our lives is school. We are blessed that our school district & the school Jack attends puts such an importance on special education & autism awareness. It's scary to send your child to school & even more so when your child has special needs. We place a great deal of trust in his teachers & administrators to not only educate our child, but to keep him safe. Jack still is very limited verbally & can not tell us about his day. He can't tell us any of the fun details of his day, if he enjoyed his lunch, and still requires assistance with personal care tasks. We spend lots of time in meetings talking with his teacher, writing notes & emailing to communicate how things are going in Jack's world. I am happy that his teacher, administrators and staff are willing to go the extra mile. I am thankful everyday for the talented educators in his life & how much progress he has made since he started school.
Last Wednesday I sent his team a little treat for World Autism Awareness Day as a thank you & a reminder that they are an important piece of our autism puzzle!
