Today was a busy day. With our IEP tomorrow for my 3 year old, I took him to visit class time at the preschool/childcare fully inclusion program I want to enroll.
I did this to see how he would do and because the school psychologist said how do I know he would be fine.
He woke up late. So we drive to this preschool and the parking lot is full we parked on the other side. My son knew how to get to the preschool he has only been there once. So we get there a little early so he played with some of the kids. I thought I would watch from out side the teacher told me not to worry if he cried and boy did he! He did everything he was told but cried so I come into the room and he runs to me. I sat down with him and although he would run to me in tears every now and then he was calming down and interacting with the other kids. Let alone this being his first experience. There was another little boy there who was his first day and since this is a preschool at a rehabilitation place the speech therapist was in there with him. He was crying to! All in all they told me he would do great and the fact that he calmed down and was kinda getting it.
The director told me she would write a note for the IEP team. She seemed confident it would work out! He was acting no different then any kid there during the first day. They do not kick him out for crying. All the kids were playing and bagging and he went over there to interact. I've noticed with him he knows how to iniate with other kids but it is in carrying out a coversation or play time he loeses interest. All in all it was not the picture perfect day but he made strides and inaway it made me confident that it would work out. When I went to take him home he did not want to leave. I wish I had the means to get him therapy there but I do not have the money for the therapy to be done there.
There would be 12 including him, Four of the kids would have unique (special needs). I just know this place would work out. A little girl who tried holding his hand when he visited to play last week came over and held is hand again. The class has two year olds and kids who just turned three like my son. Hopefully I can get them the IEP to go with it.
I went back to my son first peditrician and he was happy to have us back. He told me to get the blood test, eeg, and brain mri and once those come back normal as they did before he will change are neurologist to FOR OC KIDS. He said thats the best place for my son. He said the diagnosis is only probable autism not autism till test are done.
Later we went to the beach and my son went arounding stepping on abandoned sand castles he found a little boy to play with but when his mother saw him hand flapping and eating sand everything changed. . .He seems to not hand flap much some days but more other days.
