Thought you might enjoy an update on JL. You both were so essential in his early academic career that you should know where he is today!
In May, J finished his freshman year at Colorado State University, He is studying electrical engineering, made the Dean's List and is eagerly awaiting his return to "independence" in August. As you can imagine, I am certainly proud of his accomplishments.
J uses his accommodations extensively, advocates for himself and does it all on his own. I find it both funny and disheartening that in order to effectively use the Resource Development Center, kids have to be more organized and thoughtful about their studies and planning than other kids (like informing the center of tests and quizzes 3 days beforehand, etc.). They seem to forget that executive function challenges are so part of the deal for kids like J.
Still, he is thriving. Just thought you'd like to know... you put us on a great path! -M.
