Challenging Days Ahead

Mike and I have decided it's time to formally put an IEP (Individual Education Program) in place for Chase. Now that he's in the 4th grade, we are seeing clear differences between him and other kids his age. Although he is more of a high functioning autism, and academically does well, the social and behavioral piece of it is beginning to interfere with his education. He has periods of "freezing-up", crying, and habitual actions like "finger peeling" and "flapping" while he's in school.

Our first meeting with the Curriculum team is next Wednesday morning. We'll discuss our options and go from there. We're also considering a private school where he can get more one-on-one and smaller class sizes to make it easier on him. Please keep Chase in your prayers, as we pray for guidance in the challenges we're dealing with!

Chase is an amazing child so full of life and love - he deserves the best education we can give him!
