Tina,
Thanks for trying. I called all the schools in Upper Darby and found out that they usually bus the kids with Autism regardless of their functioning to the school at Secane. I'm really not okay with that because I think with the right supports Jake could handle being mainstreamed for at least part of the day. I called Springfield school district and of course Haverford school district and have come to realize that although it's very expensive to find a house in Havertown it's our best option. They have a specialist that wrote a book called "How to parent your Asperger child" on staff who comes to the school once a week plus they have all sorts of programs and great supports in place. It may mean living in a twin but I think it's a small price to pay to feel like I'm giving Jake the best start. Now if only our buyer could sell their property and get the ball rolling. There's always something isn't there(LOL). How are things with you and the kids? I'm so glad to hear Bobby's speech has come on so much. It's nice to see and hear some positive things for a change plus at least you feel like paying for all that extra therapy is actually worth it. Do you still go to Theraplay in Drexel Hill? Is that something your school district provide for Bobby or is that something else you pay out of pocket for? I had a qustion about Lizzie. Has she begun to pretend play and if so what kinds of things does she do. I ask because she and Ella are around the same age and although Ella has more than Jake did at that age, I don't know if it happens enough or if it's something she should be doing all day everyday. Drop me a line when you have a chance. Are you sick of the rain yet? I'm going to stuck indoors all week and ready to lose I'm sure by next weeked(LOL). Talk to you soon.
