Last Friday Kurtis, Karter and myself along with our Child Care Consultant as well someone from the school board office, took a visit to the James Hill Special Needs Class.
We met with the Principal first who took us on a tour of the class room and to meet the resource teacher and hear about the program that is offered at the school.
The program is exceptional and something that would meet Karter's needs so well. There is a nice balance of integration into typical classroom time with a program that would allow Karter to have daily physical therapy and be in the class working on goals that are more suited to his developmental level.
We were asked if this program was something that we would like to see Karter be part of in the fall, when he starts kindergarten. We agreed that it was most definitely where we would want Karter if the choice was ours.
It sounds that it is a very likely placement for Karter. We still have to have the final 'stamp of approval' from the school board. The next step is the transition meetings that precede Karter's transition from preschool to kindergarten.
We are feeling pretty relieved after seeing the program knowing that this option would be a great one for Karter.
