Today has been fabulous for our youngest. No behaviors this morning and now we are waiting at the doctor’s office and he is calmly sitting here waiting his turn.

I did my vision on our youngest son getting back into public school and getting through Junior High. Want to know what my number one goal is in getting him through 4,5,6,7, and 8th grade?  Understanding.  Understanding of what a Traumatic Brain Injury is, and exactly what his diagnosis means
