TJ, age 10 – Speech and Language Difficulties, Dyslexia

I had the Parent Teacher meeting today where I met his teacher and his support teacher. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive, more than I have ever received to date. They noted that when he is taken out of class for comprehension he is the top performer amongst peers. 

They acknowledged the history of TJ’s shutting down and going into the freeze mode but noted this was not something that had remotely observed since the start of September, which I’ll admit I was shocked by (in a good way).

So all in all they are very happy with his progress even since September, his participation in class etc. and are seeing a marked improvement in his fluency of reading. The only negative was he tended to drift off so we need to watch the attention span.
