A couple weeks ago we went to visit Pathway the school Jon will attend this fall! It was nice, we got there and the teacher greeted us and then took us to the classroom where the kids were having circle time! We sat in the circle Jon on my lap he looked a bit confused at first seeing all these kids. They were singing songs mostly the aides were singing, there were about 6 kids all with different aspects of disability. Then one of the aids came to Jon and asked him to pick a song his choices, wheels on the bus (his favorite) or head shoulders knees and toes. He looked right away at the picture of the bus and its history from there. He was so happy smiling and very attentive for the rest of the songs. When it was time to leave he started to cry, this is new for him. When he wants to continue doing something he gives us a boo boo lip or starts crying so we say one more time and he smiles from ear to ear! So we looked around the classroom said bye to the kids and then he was ready. We met with the nurse who is very nice but better then that she is very precise which is what I like I know he will get feed and be treated just fine. Jon will have his own aid that is shared with one other kiddo, they really were involving every kid with what they did. They have so much equipment for mobility to laying they have great toys and things for him to develop and speech boy they have computers and so many different programs for the kids. So even though it did bring tears to my eyes to see him in school I am reassured this is the right thing to do for him.
