My sister is a special education teacher and she always tells me that the biggest part of success for children in general, and even more so for children with special needs, is parental involvement with the school! So that's awesome that you've got supportive teachers and your so involved. I think that'll go a long way. hug.gif

Thanks!  I am always at the school!  I volunteer in the kids' classrooms a day each week, plus doing other periodic things around the school.  I have definitely seen the benefits in both of my school aged kids!
