I wasn't sure how the school was going to test Maggie for vision and hearing, considering the fact that she doesn't totally understand how to follow directions from strangers or follow multi-step procedures. It was a waste of time, but something the school needed to do to "check it off" their list of things to do.
Here's a picture of Maggie. They pushed buttons to have sound come out of each side of the headset. Then they expected Maggie to raise her hand when she heard the noise. That didn't happen, even though I was doing all I could to help. Maggie just doesn't always perform in unfamiliar situations. So, they have asked me to make sure I get a vision and hearing test done through my pediatrician in the next 6 months.
That's it for now. Time for some rest and relaxation this summer in order to get ready for school in August! Wow... still can't believe it! I can't wait to start posting updates of Maggie's progress through school! Pray with us...

I completely understand how Maggie doesn't perform well in unfamiliar situations and people. I think that we as moms get it and know in our hearts what our children can do! Everything they can do is a gift!
I am praying for you my friend!
I am praying that God is preparing Maggie's teacher(s) this fall. I am excited to see all that she will accomplish! Also praying for a fun summer in preparation!
Oh I'm so excited to hear about her progress. I'm glad you made a separate site for her - it makes it easier to keep track of the evaluations etc and the progress she's making - and will keep on making!
i pray that you have such quality time with her before august, and that God works on your heart as she leaves the nest for therapy. i am sure that will be so difficult.
