[quote=Anonymous]We supplement academics at home as well but don't lose faith that as your child matures, his dysregulation will lesson.

We went from multiple phone calls per week, sometimes multiple per day including multiple requests to pick him up early in K to very few during the year in 1st and now just one total (knock on wood) in second. The difference between age 5 and 8 is tremendous as is the benefit of an IEP and medication. Based on the constant state of dysregulation in K, we never fathomed the possibility our son could go from straight 1's on the K report card to 3's and 4's with very little dysregulation at school in second.

Something else that has helped us over the summers is enrolling him in a very inclusive camp. He loves it and at his last IEP meeting during the ESY portion the AP made a comment that rung true for us-that some students regress if not receiving ESY services but DS experiences growth. I believe it's from the nurturing environment of the camp and the learning/activities they do every week.  [/quote]
