CHATT

Rough week...

 

All the paperwork is done, orientation done, schedule mapped out, and WEAP says we have to wait another month and a half.  I cried.  An 18 month wait turned into 26 months.  I wasn't happy.  So, I got down on my knees and prayed.  I prayed that I would make the right choice for Aiden.  I was worried that switching providers was somewhat of a selfish, impatient act, and I wanted to do the right thing.

 

I felt guided to call CHATT--childhood autism treatment team, and immediately felt good about changing our provider.  They are much more flexible with scheduling, and the doctor and I are on the same page about therapy hours for Aiden.  WEAP wanted me to do homeschool with 30+ hours of therapy a week.  Church would have been his only chance to interact with his peers.  He would no longer have time to play with his brother either.  Austin will be in preschool next Fall, and when he came home, Aiden would be in therapy until 5:30 PM.  It just didn't feel right at all.  It weighed so hard on my heart and mind, I woke up thinking about it.  But what choices did I have?  Thankfully, WEAP's delay was a blessing in disguise.  Aiden, welcome to KINDERGARDEN :) :) :)
