Hello,

My daughter Rachel was diognose at 5 mounths. She is deaf and globally
delayed. She has a behavioral disorder. She is aggressive and self abusive
and distructive. She is in a residential treatment facility.She is doing
very well there. HEr behaviors were 80- per hour when she entered now we have
had some 0 behavior days. Not many but we'll take what we can get. Rachel is
dewvelopementally about 5 sheranges from 3 to 6 averageing about 4 to 5 years
of age. Each year the gap get bigger then what "normal" would be. It has been
very hard. She is truley a gift. She has helped many children in her school
and has taught many people including myself many thing about life and love.
She has tought me more about myself then I would have ever imagined about
myself. HEr Love is boundrrieless and so giving. One can't help but fall in
love whith her in between the head butts. LOL
Thanks for the e mail. Keep in touch .
Jane
