Hello Beautiful People!
It has been a minute since I posted on this Blog, but I am ever faithful when it comes to doing this once a month.
Our autistic teen son is still attending Connections Academy and will continue on this path until he graduates high school. The only regret we have as parents is not doing this sooner. He is so much more relaxed and less stressed than when he was attending his old school(so are we). As I have mentioned in a few posts that it took lots of trial and error to find what worked for our son and how he learns, so to find a learning environment that works is a total game changer moving forward.
We are going to keep on doing what we are doing and carry on. As a small note of encouragement to other parents of autistic children or whatever his/her special needs are, keep advocating and fighting for the right educational path for your child and their specific needs. For us, it boiled down to strong communication between staff and parents, transparency with progress, pathways to graduation, curriculum that works for where he is at (and not the other way around), and so much more. This way of learning fits and our son no longer has to change the way he learns for the schools' benefit.
Wherever you are in your journey keep going and continue to be a squeaky wheel until you are able to get the results you seek for your child's education and journey forward.
Have an awesome Day!
Sincerely,
Comments
