Liam is like a totally new child. Back in February I had him evaluated for ADHD/OCD and was placed on medication. The improvement in his behaviour, level of concentration and obedience has been truly significant.
He no longer disrupts class and is able to focus on his work. His relationship and interaction with his peers has also improved markedly. The teacher took him off of the daily behaviour cards so I haven't received a note from her in over a month and a half.
Each week I volunteer one hour in his class. Yesterday, the teacher told me that she is very pleased with Liam's improvement and went as far as saying that he was like a new child. She didn't know that Liam had been placed on medication so that she came to this assessment on her own. Because he is very intelligent, she will recommend him for AT classes/advanced classes.
Yesterday, he came home with a TOP SECRET ADVENTURE bag. He has to read a book to find clues which will enable him to complete puzzles that will lead him to discover who a certain villain is. In this instance, the adventure took place in Mexico and there were 6 suspects. He had to complete challenges to be able to figure out the "whoduneit." He and Kaylie loved it!
We received his report card maybe 2 weeks ago. He is above grade level in reading, spelling and writing. Now, he has to work on penmanship. He is able to work independently and consistently the majority of the time.
He is looking forward to a school trip this coming May. They are going to the Philadelphia Zoo.
I am so happy and excited for him.
