whats happening Now?

Whats happening now?
Well, it’s been a busy week between kids, work and study. on the dyslexia front I have 3 new exciting things to mention.1st youngest son has improved his writing by about 1.5years in less than 1 year - I know this might not sound much but fir him its a huge jump forward and his basic facts are now very good. Yippee! Progress has been made.2nd Middle son has had a fantastic reassessment and in 3 years gone from 3 years behind in most areas to being 2 years ahead in most areas' - I believe its due to him doing the danks Davies method of tutoring its been fantastic but time consuming.3rd eldest son, still having communication problems with his high school they seem to think that everything can wait till next year, next month or next week and have no sense of urgency. My son will be entering year 11 in 2007 but we still have no Individual education plan - which is the recommended process for all students with special needs from the ministry of education in NZ. I think my plea for an inclusive cooperative process has fallen on deaf ears and now Xmas is here and I am still struggling to have his needs acknowledged.

Today the eldest and middle son entered the dash for cash competition with my husband they had a great time running around the CBD with there dad collecting clues and points along the way.

Schools are out and school holidays can begin for the older two the next two starts there school holidays Wednesday next week.

Over these holidays my plan is to teach my children to type – I’ll let you know the progress.

Bye for now
