Time to start thinking ......Kindergarten!

From day 1 we knew our kids would go to Academy..no question. It is a perfect fit for our family. With that being said..Academy isn't set up like a public school and they don't have the funding like public schools either especially when it comes to special needs. Until this year..for some reason..I didn't label Avery as special needs. I didn't label her at all..she was just in the leap program and that said enough. Well..this year she was mainstreamed so to speak. She is in young 5's with "normal kids" with the most amazing teacher in the world. This has made me fall in love with her current school so the decision to send her to another school next year is a difficult one. We met with Academy a few weeks ago to make sure they could meet Avery's needs. It was a lengthy meeting with us talking about her disability and her needs and introducing them to the Pompe world. I think they were all shocked a little with what she needs and what she goes through but none the less....Academy is ready for Avery. They need to do a few things to get ready for her: build a wheelchair ramp, hire a physical therapist and a few other things. I wasn't sure they would take this task on but they are willing to. We are going to Kindergarten at Academy...ALL IN! Wade and I both agree if this isn't the perfect fit for Avery we will reconsider our options for 1st grade. We hope to have the support of everyone around us..including the staff at her current school. Kindergarten round up is April 20, 2015!
