Kindergarten

Wednesday, June 6th, 2007

We’ve met a second time with Gareth’s transition/IEP team. All indicators are that they’re looking to place Gareth in a regular classroom and make any necessary modifications. We’re absolutely thrilled with this news!

The team asked us if we’ve ever had Gareth on their playground before. I had to admit that Gareth and I are there all the time … to ride figure eights around the basketball hoops. He and I have never actually gotten off the bike to play on any of the equipment.

It also sounds like the school is adding some equipment to their building to aid in traversing and/or avoiding steps. The down side is that they don’t think they’ll have it in until late October. Sounds like they’re trying to do it as soon as possible, but Gareth may have to be wheeled outside the building to get to the lower common area where lunch is served and phys ed is held.
