Summer's Ending...

This is the last week for my son's summer school. Each summer, since 2005 he has attended this program. There he receives OT, Speech and instruction to maintain the skills he learned the previous year. I can't say enough good about the program - they not only teach these children, but they make it as fun an experience as they can. The program is much like a modified summer camp, with swimming trips 4 days a week and several field trips all around the area. Each day he comes home, happy and bursting with stories about his day. Having fun, while learning, has been significant a factor in his continued development. He has two years left in elementary school, after that he will move on to middle school. I have little idea of what to expect - it truly is one day at a time...one foot in front of the other. However, I am hopeful, that school will continue to be a positive experience for him - that he will have many days of coming home with smiles and stories of how he spent his day.
