"If Julie did not work with my family, my son would still be stuck in that 8:1:1 segregated special education classroom at the end of the hall. Now he is a part of a general education classroom— he is truly a part of the school community! He eats lunch with his typical peers, works with his classmates, and he now goes on playdates!! The best change of all is the change in him. He feels SO much better about himself! It was the best educational decision our family has made."

Today we had an IEP meeting and next year, 3rd grade, Emma will be fully included in the regular education classroom with all services being brought to her!

I feel so blessed to have found Julie and this group… this process has taken its toll but I see light at the end of the tunnel.
