Livvy's summer and fall school schedule


I had a meeting with the school district who takes over Livvy's services once she turns 3 and they determined she qualifies for summer school (from June-July) 4 days a week for 3 hrs a day. The class is language-based which means she will learn new words in everything she does. The class size is 8-10 kids and she'll blossom there. They also have 1 hr of OT incorporated in the day to work on tactile issues, self-help, and motor skills. Currently, she assessed at a 2.5 yr old level in all areas - cognitively, she's right on with no delays so on paper she looks good...it's applying it that is the area that needs improvement. She doesn't have very good social skills with peers but with adults she flourishes - they'll be working on that in school as well. No doubt the first week or two will be hard for her to get used to all of the kids there, but she'll pick it up quickly. We'll also have her in a gymnastics class since she's a little monkey!
In the Fall, she'll still go to the same schoool 4 days a week for 3 hrs - hopefully the summer class will prepare her for her new class with less anxiety. GOOOO LIVVY!!
