One of the hardest parts of Susie being non verbal, is her inability to tell us about her day. What does she do at school? What was her snack? How was her car ride? These are all things she can't tell us so we rely on her wonderful teachers and van driver to give us an update! Susie has been extremely blessed with the best teachers, and the van driver, Ms. Annie is a godsend.
Last week, we had the pleasure of meeting with Susie's special education teacher, speech pathologist, the director of her school and her occupational therapist for her IEP/parent teacher conference. Since Susie doesn't go to school in our hometown, I rarely get to connect with these ladies. It was nice to get to talk with them in person and discuss Susie's developmental milestones and achievements. These meetings can sometimes be discouraging to hear all the things Susie can't do. However Susie's speech therapist said it best "she might not be where we wanted her to be with talking, but great things are happening."
Susie has come a very long way in a year, and does so many great things at school. Susie is starting to explore new toys, interact with her peers, and follow a classroom routine. We are so proud of the progress she is making and forever grateful for the great team of teachers at UCP.
Enjoy these pictures that were sent to us from her teacher!
Love this update so very much!
