Transitioning to a Full Day in Middle School

Good Evening Everyone,  I know it has been awhile since I posted but there has been so many changes coming up and our family is buckling down to see what happens in the days to follow. You see, our son is attending school for a Full day in a public school setting for the first time and he has not done this for over 11 years.  I could sugar coat this and say how thrilled we are and look forward to this major milestone in our lives and his, but we have seen the possibility of what if this doesn't work out:-(. What is reassuring is that we know that he will have support, 1:1, peer support, para support and otherwise. But the what if's outweigh the possibilities of success because in our parental expertise and background experiences, it did not go well in the past. He will be taking two general education classes in the 6th grade level class, we are unaware of how big these general education classes are, but hope that they will not be too overwhelming. We will just have to wait ...

About

Hi and Welcome to My Blog,  I have had a website for awhile, but wanted a place that I could not only share what it is like to raise a special needs child, the good, bad and the ugly and all things in between.  My goal for writing this blog is to also inspire and uplift because us moms with special needs children are giving it our all day to day and this is a small portion of what the day to day struggles are, it really all depends on the teacher, how our son feels and other things.  So sit back and be patient of all that I have in store for you here at special needs tidbits. ~Mandu Owner of HomeSchoolSpecNeedsTidbits.com  US Army Veteran Lover of Life
