I went to STAR training for Dallon on Tuesday morning. The program seems like it will be really great for Dallon. It focuses on making the children feel successful, and buiding on their pre-existing skills. It is both speech and occupational therapy in one program. His class will be a model class for this new program, if it is a success they will implement it into other classrooms next year. I feel very lucky that he is getting to do this program this year instead of waiting until next year.
His first couple of days of school were rough, but yesterday and today were both much better. Yesterday he had no tears and was generally cooperative the whole 3 hours! Today he only had a couple of problems related to some toys he wanted. Hopefully he'll continue to do well. He goes to school very willingly, and I know he feels comfortable with his teachers and classmates. I'm trying not to have unrealistic expectations, but I am very hopeful that this year he will make some great progress in his development.
