2012 Update: A quick update on Michael. He's 12 years old and just finished 7th grade. This year he played violin again in the orchestra, had a small part in the musical "Willy Wonka", took Italian and ended up with an 88 grade point average. It was a hard year for school work. Changing classes every period & having around 7 different teachers was an adjustment. The last month of school, we got rid of his 1:1 aide. Basically, she wasn't doing much anyway- but annoying Michael. He is for sure independent and wants to be treated like everyone else. I guess the biggest problems this year have been socialization and behaviors in unsupervised situations.
Michael loves to swim, ride his bike, surf the internet and do things most pre-teens enjoy. Thanks for reading our blog!!!!
