When he left his previous placement he was struggling with some subjects.  Not sure if the standards are different in the new facility, but they report that he has a C average in all of his classes. He is not doing remedial work.  He is doing the work as assigned. Part of this may have to do with the fact that his classroom is right in the residence hall.  He doesn’t go to any outside schools.  He is out of the equine therapy program until his 13th birthday.  Which is in 5 months.

We got through it and still had a really good conversation.  He showed me his desk in the classroom, his bedroom, and the game room where we visited.  He sat still for the whole visit.  I was impressed, as I know how hard it is for him to do that.
