Much Deserved Thanks!

I just finished two IEPs (Individualized Education Plans) for my oldest two kids and have another one on Wednesday for my youngest.  I was very struck and overwhelmed with the love and care that these people have for my children, how much time they work on understanding them and helping them be successful during the school day.  I have been blessed with wonderful people: autism support teachers, regular education teachers, speech therapists, occupational therapists, principals, and many other staff members throughout my children's lives who have worked and continue to work so hard and do such a great job supporting me and my children.  It is such a good feeling as a parent and I know I am very lucky.  Not all parents have such good experiences.  So a HUGE THANK YOU to all of you wonderful people out there who work with children with autism every day and love them for who they are and help to make them and their families better people.  You are truly amazing and this journey would be so much more difficult without your love, help and influence.  THANK YOU!
