Good News!
I interviewed a new day care today. This place advertises as care specific for children on the autism spectrum. I visited and brought B with me. He immediately jumped into the sensory room, taking advantage of the trampoline. I visited with the director and went over all the quirks and idiosyncrasies of my child. We were there a little over an hour. There were 5 children in the class he visited, which is the after-school care program, and two teachers. That is certainly a better ratio than the 26 students/1 teacher at one of the centers I visited.
They are willing to provide transportation for no additional fee while I pursue getting a bus provided through the school district. I signed him up and he starts tomorrow.
Now I just need to figure out how to pay for it! This place is more than twice as much as his other care providers have been, and is more than my car payment and insurance combined. I predict a lot of ramen noodles in my future, but he’s worth it! My parents think so, too, and they are helping out as well. I am so thankful that my son has a great support network of family.
Wish us luck!
You hear that “Whoooping!!” noise? That was me! Oh happy day!!!!!
