Thank you for that info. I am having issues with the teachers
understanding all of this because he is in High School and I am sure
some of them feel he should be able to do this by now. I am hoping
that with the help of the school phys and gudiance counsler they will
understand better. I have been waiting for this since 3rd grade.
Hopefully all will turn out well. I just dont know what to expect.
Thanks so much, Lea
