Listening more intently though on the purpose of this last-minute adjustment, I realized that he would no longer be put in a separate special needs class but will share the classroom with "typical" children, allowing him full immersion into a regular class setting. He would still be provided his specific therapy sessions but shall be receiving the same opportunities and services provided to the rest of the students. Really scary but doesn't this sound like a "promotion"? With crossed fingers and a silent prayer, we charged head-on and took the new program.
Here is a short excerpt of his third day in the new school setting.....
I think I had more difficulty letting go than he did....He put up a strong front and did his best to be the "big kid" that he has become. Watching this clip still brings tears to my eyes everytime....
...brings tears to mine as well...sniff,sniff!
