Let's hope N.B.'s new government doesn't undo it. Sorry to hear about UNB-CEL too - my experience has been that "internal" training translates to poor quality and either saved costs, pocketed costs (given to internal staff for no improvements in services), or transfers of dollars to other areas. Having UNB-CEL ensures quality. For us, we are going to have to flee Ontario for Alberta to get a shot at such an education.AutisticWisdomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01553708099437502270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33052404.post-25421701245285655152012-07-15T12:50:20.989-03:002012-07-15T12:50:20.989-03:00First, you have an extremely adorable son.

But I suspect you know that. :o)<br /><br />Second, it's wonderful that he not only looks so forward to school, but that you've found a way to make the wait seem less difficult by allowing him to count it down himself. My daughter has similar issues to Conor's and she attends ESY, which helps tremendously. If there is a program available that would allow your son to attend classes during the summer, I definitely recommend it. It keeps their skills current and it helps alleviate the anxiety that comes with breaking their routine. It's been great for both of my children, but my daughter enjoys it more because she really seems to need the classroom experience.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13339800749662965337noreply@blogger.com
