But that was before she was diagnosed with Childhood Apraxia of Speech. Now, I am thrilled to have that extra year. It means she has a better chance of overcoming her condition and catching up to her peers. It means she has a better chance of not being labeled, "Special Needs," something I am terrified of. It means she has a better chance of not being a target of bullies because she talks funny.<br /><br />She is a very bright and highly motivated child. And I don't want to lose that. So, I'll take the extra year and do everything I can to make sure she gets the best possible start in school. To that end, I completely understand what you are saying about making sacrifices. We could have used state funded speech therapy, but the quality was awful. We found a fantastic facility where she receives intensive speech and physical therapy, and is thriving. Our insurance does not cover it, and the expense is killing us. But we believe it is not only the right thing to do, but our responsibility as her parents. We'll give up other things. Find new ways to bring in income. We will not sacrifice her care.<br /><br />Enjoyed this post! Good luck with the new school!Elizabeth Flora Rosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11729450308659877966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4989017208846872303.post-23328971525112269322011-11-18T13:44:25.880-06:002011-11-18T13:44:25.880-06:00That sounds like a super fun school.

We moved her when they changed and weren't, to another expensive day care, where she's still attending an expensive kindergarten. Because it's worth it. Because I want her to love learning, to have music and Spanish and tumbling and cooking as part of her regular curriculum. After this, she will go to public school, because we have a very good school district. But this year we can continue to give her a leg up, help her love school. I completely understand your choice.Gabriellenoreply@blogger.com
