Macsen aged out of the Early Intwrvention program when he turned 3. We had been receiving services with the national program since he was 10 months old. Every month a physical therapist, speech therapist and occupational therapist came to our home and worked with him for an hour. We opted not to test him for the school program in August before we left for Philadelphia because we didn't know how long we would be gone and what kind of shape he would be in. After we got back we started the paper work for the continuation of his services in the school system. It has taken until now to finally complete the process to get him in - he tested too well in physical and occupational therapy but qualified for speech therapy. The program here consists of 3 hours once a week at the Early Education Center.
Macsen was so excited to start. He wore his tiny back pack with such pride. Leaving your child for the first time is tough but when you know he will have a nurse there that lives across the street from you it is a little easier.
Update - MAcsen hada great time at school. He cried when I picked him up because he didn't want to leave!
