Just a quick update -- school has started and I remain cautiously optomistic .
We have started with an old plan put forth with new surroundings and new people and I am pretty happy right now. Many of the things that I have struggled to incorporate into Dakotas schedule have been put in to place with a new team of people.
For the moment he has already done more things I have wanted for him in this 2 weeks than he had done in the passed 2 years so I am very happy in this moment. We are incorporating a "safe haven" and special ed class with lots of communitiy activities { pretty neat new teacher, too}and some work experience with the opportunity for him to attend some reg ed classes -- just basic stuff like life science and basic english with the intent of pure socialization as the key-- no grading or other demands just an opportunity for him to be with other typical kids--
So time will tell but right now I am on cloud nine --- we will see how long it lasts!
