Kai went for a few hours today and met with a team visiting our school district today. Looking for ways to help him in the classroom. It was a very interesting day. He did ok for most of it. He has a short attention span so he had to be directed back to task often. He did a fair amount of pretend snoring with his eyes closed. His way of tuning out. He does it to me fairly often ;)
There was a woman there from Taiwan who was able to help with directions in Mandarin. He was responding to her in Mandarin.
We came away with a few adaptions for him to take into his grade one class. A slant board for reading. Magnifying glasses. Scratch pens in black that can be erased because he can't see pencil marks. And most importantly a pair of sunglasses that fit over his glasses. His whole body changed and he lifted his head up and looked around and announced loudly and clearly that "I like this!". So he wasn't squinting and was able to see outside on a bright day.
He liked snacks the best of course.
