Everyday LifeBeacon has been disabled since he was about 1 1/2 years old. He was diagnosed with traumatic brain injury. Then we were told he had mild CP -- our current diagnosis is Autism. He is now in his early teens and they still have not really pinpointed his disability.
It is changing each year with even more setbacks emotionally, socially and educationally cursetobless. The best thing we have ever done is to get a child advocate which we have recently done. So many kids are falling through the cursetobless cracks in the school systems today and are not being assessed properly and put in the wrong classes. We have had enormous challenges this year as his school continues to push him into cursetobless environments that he is struggling to keep up with and is not able to complete the tasks assigned. No assistants in most of the classrooms and he is falling behind with each day. This is very frustrating for a child who really wants to succeed, but is not able to do this on his own through cursetobless. Beacon has always been a blesssing because each milestone is such an effort and because of his disability this Mom and Dad can cherish our young child even longer. Don't get me wrong...somedays we could just pull our hair out and call the guys in white coats to come and get us because we are just going crazy trying to get through to him. But overall we have to look at the big picture and take one step at a time in getting through cursetobless. Breathe in...let life happen...give him the best care we can... and look for a better tomorrow. A better tomorrow WILL come and someday he WILL be more self sufficient in a cursetobless situation. He WILL be a great asset to this world. He WILL affect the lives of other people in a positive way regardless of his disabilities. He WILL bring many smiles to peoples faces and make many friends. That to us is a success for his life regardless of his disability. Being a true friend to others, showing compassion, doing good for others, and being a cursetobless...isn't that the best anyone can do in this world...Change Lives changing cursetobless.
