Kindergarten for Evan

So Evan is going to kindergarten in the fall, well actually his school starts on August 17th. So he is going to the same elementary school as his brother and is going to be in a full inclusion kindergarten with a 1-1 aide. I have met with the special ed teacher, kindergarten teacher, and speech therapist. I feel that I am at least sending him to a place where they have dealt with special needs kids before and I am not just throwing him to the sharks. The special ed teacher already had the teacher picked out for him and was already thinking about Evan before she even met us. So that was nice. I figure I have to at least give him a chance in this environment. Plus, as myself and other parents have expressed there is not a program in our school district that is available for kids who have mild-moderate physical disabilities, communication delays and are fairly higher functioning cognitively. Maybe it will be my new project to get some type of classroom like that available for our kids. Anyway, I will post more on how kindergarten goes as we get into it after august.
