New School for Isaac

Guess what!

More and more as Isaac grows I realize how much Heavenly Father loves him. 

Things fall into place, people come into his life, and opportunities arise.

Most recently, his preschool teacher called me Friday morning and told me there was an opportunity for Isaac.

This is the day Isaac picked out his first outfit ever. If you can't tell, he is sporting red, black, and white plaid shorts with a bright orange shark shirt. I was so proud he picked them himself! AND that morning he was trying to put shorts on by himself. Granted, they were dirty ones from his laundry basket and he had both legs in one leg hole, but it was still cool.

He was supposed to start at the same school with the same teacher on Wednesday. 

However, after meeting that day with several teachers and coordinators, I found out that Isaac will now be starting at an all-day preschool where there are only eight children accepted. Here are some things I'm excited about:

• Each child has one on one time with a certified, trained individual all day as well as the regular special ed teacher 

• His time with speech, occupational, and physical therapists will now be significantly more

• ABA therapy (I know it doesn't work for everyone, but we will see) and behavior assistance  

• Potty training program (all children from the class last year were potty trained by the end of the school year!) 

This is a new sensory thing we started doing more often! Shaving cream in the bathtub with nothin' but a diaper on never felt so good. He loves it! I can't wait to see what they have available at his new school.

• Assessments to spot the “holes” in his development, then the use of specific programs to help fill those holes.

•  More sensory! Plus they have some awesome equipment inside the classroom and on the playground.

I am really hoping to see some great improvements over the course of the year with Isaac. Let's cross our fingers and pray!

He is definitely school ready! He put his shoes on by himself!!! I don't even care they are on the wrong feet! Look at that!:) It's the little things. Can't wait to see what else he'll surprise me with this year.
