He is the youngest of three and I knew something was not right. is now 13 1/2 years old and going into 8th grade. He made high honor roll for the first time last year in 7th grade and has participated in sports since age 5. He made the school football team and his little league team won the " World Series " this summer. He played second base. He is a wonderful boy who has worked very hard in all areas. It was an up-hill battle to make sure received all the services he needed. He just completed a reading program last year to help with his Dyslexia which made all the difference for him in school. It is a long frustrating road, but thanks to the internet and these wonderful web sites you are not alone. There is much more support today then 10 or 12 years ago. Just take it one step at a time. I wanted you to know that there are success stories and that we started off where you are today. Don't give up, you will be amazed at what he can do! Best to you, > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
