Kyle finally started his work experience today! We were able to access student services through his school. We are still waiting for his referral to psychologist but it is a great start. He works at the local grocery store one hour a day. I am really happy for him. yes

For those who don't know his story

Kyle is my 18 yr old son who was first diagnosed with receptive language disorder when he was 2. His problems are more in communication and social skills. He has had trouble with school even though his IQ has been tested and he is in the normal range. He has had speech, physio, and OT therapy. He doesn't have a driver's licence. This job has been what he needs to help him transition into the adult world. He graduates high school this year, (hopefully). Thanks all for the support. I wish I had you 10 yrs ago!
