So my daughter is in public school this year, as I may have mentioned before. We put her there for several reasons, including the one the school gave us: she 'qualified' for Special Education. Now that we're almost to the end of the semester, do I think we needed to do this? In some ways no, in some ways yes.
But the point I really want to stress today is to not become complacent. I've found that since we've had our sweet girl assessed for Asperger's and our suspicions have been confirmed, my husband and I seem to have become complacent. We've been 'resting on our laurels' and have not done any further research. But, who's responsibility is it really to figure out what's best for our kiddos? Who is ultimately responsible for how they learn to cope in the 'real world'? My friends, that's you and I, the parents and guardians. And so, I challenge you, as I challenge myself, to no longer be complacent, but be proactive in researching what can be helpful to you, me, and our kids.
This week's challenge to you: Tell me one NEW thing you've learned about your Aspie kiddo during some recent research.
May you all be blessed by your new found knowledge!
