Hello beautiful People!
How was your Labor Day Weekend? Did you eat some BBQ? Relax with Family and Friends? What did you do to celebrate? This Labor Day was different. It definitely was not the same as what we are used to. Growing up I was used to smelling backyard BBQ's in my neighborhood, children playing outside, and cars parked back to back at neighbors' yards. This year probably for the first time in a long time it was eerily quiet.
If you haven't heard already, we are in a pandemic and it does not look like it is going to slow down anytime soon. Have your kids started school yet? My kids(one adult and one autistic teen), are doing school remotely this year because they learn more and there are just not that many distractions.
Homeschooling has been an up and down journey for us as a family unit and sometimes downright exhausting, but at the end of the day it is all worth it when what you do at home is working and your student(s) are learning. Yay!!! We have run the gamut when it comes to online learning for our autistic son:
1)ALE-Alternative Learning Environment
2)Co-Op HOME Program
3)Virtual Remote Learning-Through the School District(Pandemic Lockdown)
4)Brick and Mortar School
5)Highly Structured Autism Program
6)ALE all over again(permanently)
It has been a whirlwind and also a blessing to get as far as our son has, but I can't forget the paraeducators, special education teachers, and counselors as well that have brought peace of mind to this autism mom's day about our son completing a milestone and/or doing something extraordinary.
September is all about Fall and New Beginnings....
Take Care. Be Well. Stay Safe.
