Conference

I went for a conference with the teachers, therapists and assistant at Robinson and was blown away by their egerness to help Cassidy. At first I thought they were going to put her into a special education class and try to wean her into the regular Kindergarten.

But after they reviewed her EIP from the Spring they wanted to start her off in regular Kindergarten. I couldn't believe it. I had to beg Shenandoah to give her a chance in regular Kindergarten and these people were insisting that she start there. She was given a personal assistant in the class and would continue receiving occupational therapy and speach therapy.

They acted excited to have her and assured me that I could find a school as good but not better than theirs in Indiana. They were all so great I was close to crying tears of joy and relief.

With Cassidy's new medicine I knew she would do fine. I couldn't wait for her to start school there and either could she.
