| I am coming here to today filled with so much hope!!!! First off when I opened up our local paper last night there was a half page article on Irlens(which is what Jamie has) This was the catalyst I needed to get farther ahead with the service clubs for some help with funding. It looks like our local Lions club will give some as well as 300 from the civitan club. This helps to shoulder that 1000 dollar cost that we still owe to the person we borrowed from.
Second was finally my meeting with the school regarding Jamie and this condition and all the struggles we are still seeing. He is finding it easier to read but his short term memory is very poor and he can not remember what he did at school when he brings homework home. As you can imagine this is frustration on both of our parts. Now the principal and spec teacher are going to make sure that his teacher writes a very detailed list of exactly what is for homework and that i have all the resources to help him. An example is that he brings home his science book with 6 copied sheets....his agenda says science homework. Jamie can not tell me what he has to do or how much. With this new ruling the teacher will have to write in his agenda which questions etc. Also they said he is happier socially this year but there is still frustration in class so they have asked for psyc-ed testing. I was so glad as I think something else maybe wrong and if this is the case then we will be able to get more help and implement the tools to help him!!! I just want to give him the best steps to achieve the best that he can be. antyways as you can tell I am very happy with the results of my meeting and with our new principal.
