I'm so glad you found that specialist that truly understands!!
Me too! She's been so great!
Jess, honey, you are such a great momma! I’m so glad you updated us about Nate! The fact that he will be able to get that special therapy at school is AWESOME! I know it hurts having to have him in a special classroom, but if the school peeps that know him so well think this is best for now, then I think that’s the way to go. And if it doesn’t work out well, they’ll come up with something else. I was so touched to hear that the teachers were crying along with you. They love Nate too, and as much as you love him, God loves Nate even more, which I know is mind-boggling! I will be praying for Nate and for you and David too! Love and hugs and prayers from Chicago-land!
Thank you, my friend! God is good! He works everything out, we just step out in faith and trust Him for each step of the way!
That’s great that Nate will be in an ABA program. And once he is taught to sit, listen, follow direction etc , he will take off academically. Good for you Jess, you’re a very strong person!
I really do think it's what he needs to help him be successful in school and life! I don't always feel strong, but I know that God is strengthening me every day! :)
The Lord chose you , David and Lucy for Nate...it is so difficult to hear all that about our children...but bless Nate and I hope it helps him...that is what it is all about...I know the heartache...keep praying sweetie...Jesus has this and knows how much you all love Nate...love you and your family
Thank you so much! I love you too...your support and encouragement means so much to me!
I am semi- retired special education teacher and I can tell you that the ABA classroom will be so good for him. With specialized trained people- I feel that he will get the best education for him. Also maybe as he gets better with some skills then hopefully he will progress up to going to regular ed for a while with a one to one para for at least a portion of the day. - You are such a good mom- we just have to see what God will do with Nate- and remember the school system can always change as it is needed to do what is best for all of you. You do so well with IE- and I am enjoying watching and learning from you.
I think so too! Thank you so much!
I feel and understand so much!! My baby has CP and have to deal with similar stuff. I am so proud of you as a momma. God does have Nate and my Shelby too!!
you talking about real life with Nate helps me so much!
Thank you so much for commenting! I will add you and Shelby to my prayer list! Hugs to you, Mama!
thank you so much!!
I think the transition for Nate sounds very positive! Sounds like he's in a great school that is looking out for his best interests. Hugs and prayers for you!
Thank you so much! The school is amazing! Couldn't ask for anything more!
Wow your school system sounds so different then us. That's great that he can do things with "regular" classes. Andrew does that because it shows him how people wait and have to take your turn etc. His life skills class teaches so many of the life lessons. We wants what is best for your child and the fact that the school knows that things aren't working for him and want him to reach his best. Also for the future could he be integrated I regular class with a one on one support? Hang in there girl and crying helps and talking to the camera helps and do whatever you need to do to get the sadness out. Sending you big hugs.
Thanks so much, Darlene! Big hugs back! The goal is to eventually be in regular classes with support. That's kind of what we have right now, but he's just distracted with all the kids and chaos going on. Plus, he's not learning the life skills that he needs in there. I know we are so blessed with an amazing and caring school! They are an answer to so many prayers! One day at a time, right? :)
Blessed Jess Yes one day at a time. You sound like your school is there to offer support and want the best for Nate and that is something not everyone had. He will do amazing.
Thanks, sweet friend! Connecting with other strong special needs mamas has been so encouraging to me also. We truly can understand each other in a way not everyone can. You know I just adore your sweet Andrew...he reminds me so much of my brother in law!
Well be praying for you! My cousin has autism so I know there are hard days. Just know you have this!
Thank you so much!
Praying for your family...God is in the midst. ❤️
Amen! He sure is!
I work in special ed and I completely understand what you are saying. At his young age and with how smart he is, the social skills are more important than the academics. He will pick up the academics later and because he is so smart it will not affective him in a negative way. YOU ARE A GOOD MOM! You are an amazing woman and your son is an amazing little boy who just needs to do things in a different way and that is OK!! I am so happy you have the support system at the school! You are in my prayers lady!
Thank you so very much! The encouragement was heaven sent today!
Sounds like a very caring school. You will make the best decisions for him because you are his parents and you know what's best for your precious child. Hugs and prayers. He will be just fine with you as his parents. He is blessed!
Thank you so much! We are so blessed!
I totally agree that the transition to an autism/ABA classroom is a great one! I've been an ABA therapist before and seen how much it can do for these kids! I know it is hard to hear your child's weaknesses, but he has so many more amazing gifts! I pray for a smooth transition for him, for your family, and for his teachers!
Thank you so much, Megan!
It sounds like everyone wants the best for Nate!!! As long as he is getting the care and the learning that he needs and deserves!!! It sounds like an amazing bunch of teachers that really care!!! It’s not a setback it’s a step in the right direction for Nate!!! God has a plan for all of us and he created Nate and will protect and watch over him. He is a sweet little boy and everything with be fine!!!
Amen! Thank you so very much! I appreciate the reminder!
I am happy for you all that Nate’s m team went well. It sounds like a great plan for him. Hang in there. You are a great mom having to make some tough decisions. You are making the right decisions for him at this time. I will keep you all in my prayers!!!
Thank you so very much!
Dont think of it as a set back, think of it as progression for Nate! This is great that he is getting his therapy without dealing with insurance. Stay strong, he is very smart, and is probably bored with the " normal" kids😊
Totally agree, Kimberly! Thanks so much!
This sounds like such a positive thing for Nate. It’ll be so wonderful to see his progress.
It’s been rough for you, for sure, but you’re hanging in there!
Yes! Thank you so much!
Love you, Jess. Everything will be awesome, because there is no reason for it not to be. Your terrific little rock star is in good hands. ❤️
Amen! Thanks so much!
As a mom I know it is hard to hear these things. But a child with unique learning needs a unique learning environment.
Yes, for sure. Thanks so much!
Your welcome my 9 year old daughter not Austic but I do understand iep meetings always make me nervous
It's so so very hard to hear areas that our children are having trouble.
God has a plan for Nate
Amen! I know He does!
Excellent video
I will pray everyday. I taught for 25 years.God has a plan for your family.
Thank you so much! That means the world!
God has this all in his hands!! It will all work out!! Prayers for you all!! 💖💖 He is a precious gift God gave you!! He is perfect in his way. We all were made different!!
Amen! So true! Thanks so much!
Blessed Jess You're so welcome!! 💖💖
💗 Prayers for your beautiful family and for you.
Thank you so much, Toni!
I️ feel for you and your family. This is hard for a mother and father to digest so to speak. My son is 13 he is not autistic but he is failing classes and has trouble learning. I️ am ha omg him tested for a second time by the school. Hoping for answers and have cried many times. I️ understand how it feels. !!
I'm so sorry, Krista! Praying for you guys!
Blessed Jess praying for you too!!
Thank you!
Awww big hugs and lots love to you all. Xxx
Hugs! Thanks so much!
Yes and what their not doing right or need help with.
Yep. 😊
Making decisions for our kids is hard sometimes
Yes, sometimes I wish we had an instruction book that told us exactly what we needed to do. I know that wouldn't require us to trust God, though. Thanks so much for watching!
God bless you Jess and your son!!
Thank you!
Big hugs to you & your family
Big hugs back!
Is he high functioning?
He’s only five so no one has used that label, but I would say he is more high functioning. He can read pretty much anything, he can talk (but speech is behind...he is getting therapy) and he is super smart at so many things. We do have our struggles with eye contact, sitting still, joint attention, etc. But those are the things he will be working on. 😊
