I can't believe it, but I think I forgot to post this.

I got the kids state testing results back. I was worried because Mike's class was a learning handicapped class that he would fall behind. It was a concern of the district and teacher as well.

WELLL (drum roll please) He went up in ALL AREAS SIGNIFICANTLY!!!!!! Particularly in his toughest area, reading comprehension. Yet more proof that we made the right placement decision putting him into a special day class last year. I had to think about it, but even though they were doing lower work, I think they finally did it in a way Mike really understood since they teach so concrete. Plus he had lots of 1:1 so he really was able to comprehend the work.

WTG Mike and WTG Mrs. M (teacher) and Miss K (his aide)!

I remembered that you'd forgotten, but forgot to remind you!

WTG Mikey! A lot of people are anti-SDC, but it can definitely work, if applied properly.
