I am not sure what that means. I am excited and scared at the same time.
I know she will have a good time but I also feel like I will be missing on what is going on in her life.
May be I am one of those helicopter moms that want to hover around their kids until they are 40. I guess I have to let go at some point.
She has been labeled a special needs child.
I don't know what that needs either. She is getting so many services I need two extra days in the week just to schedule all her therapies.
She has improved greatly since we started with EI (early intervention). It has been quite an experience learning to navigate the world of government sponsored services. it has helped her tremendously. Her language is coming along now. she is probably at the level of a 2 year old now. She is still not running or jumping.
I wonder how much the delays have to do with her meds. We have been lowering the Topomax and every time her language abilities make a leap.
I am hopeful we can take her off of it soon.
Anyway, special needs. It sounds depressing but I found out that it is exactly what it is. My child is special. Every child is special and every child learns differently. It's just a label that has become associated with kids who are heavily hindered in their learning.
I think school will be good for her.
