My son is now 15 years old. He was dx'd with Asperger's, ADHA, Touretts, and has
sensory intregration disorder. He has been in special ed, but for the past 3 years
has been main streamed into class. He just graduated 8th grade with 1 A'S AND 6 B'S
on his report card. He also rec'd a special medal on a writing assessment essay that
he did and only 4 kids in the whole class got it. The highest grade you could get was
6 and no one in the whole 8th grade made it. But my son and 3 other children made
the 5. I was so proud and he was too. We are worried about summer, because he needs
some extra help with tutoring so he does not forget everything he has learned this
year. He performs better if he is getting some type of learning on a constant basis.
He is very good with computers and he would like to attend some type of classes but
we are unable to afford them. I was looking to see if there is some sort of grant for
children in his situation. He needs to be evaluated by a neurologist because he has
a tremor and no one in the area takes his medicaid. I work at a physicians office but
I have no insurance and I cannot afford to take him where he needs to go and pay.
