I was so overwhelmed with emotions of happiness, excitement, wonder and amazement, and even shock...that all I could muster up to tell her was that she was like a miracle worker! Seriously...this little boy whom we were told would never walk, talk and be normal...whom they told me would only be half his age developmentally....is reading! What I really wanted to do was jump over the tiny table and chairs, that are just big enough to fit the littlest of school kids, and hug her with all my heart and soul. She along with the others that work day after day to teach these special kids...are just amazing to me! I thank God daily for the teachers and aides that work so hard to get these kids to be as typical as possible...amazing, just simply amazing. To be able to teach a child with special needs is a gift that involve a lot of patience and a love for their job and the kids. They should be paid top dollars in my eyes! Right up there with doctors and those that protect us and serve!
So for all of you that are just starting the journey of a micro-preemie or a child with any form of disability (hearing loss, apraxia of speech, etc...), brain issue, genetic issue or have been told that you're child will be developmentally delayed...here is proof that it is possible for a child to learn and grow with the right teachers, aides, specialists and lots of prayers (mixed with some heartache)...
