Alyssa update!

In March I had a post about Alyssa's battle with autism. Yesterday I had her final evaluation meeting with her teachers at NUAP (her preschool) She has some amazing test scores that I wanted to share. She tested at the age of 56 months old....and the highest level they test to is 72 months old. If they score higher than that they just say she is at 72+...which means off the chart. Well for all the areas: Gross Motor, Fine Motor, Cognitive, Language, Self Help, and Social/Emotional she scored 72+ !!!!! In just one area: Prewriting-she scored 68 months. One of her teachers mentioned that in all her 9 years of teaching at the school she has NEVER seen test results that high!!!! WAY TO GO ALYSSA!!!! I'm so Thankful to all the teachers who worked with her all year, they did an amazing job. Alyssa still has another year before she starts Kindergarten. I found a Montessori preschool for her to go to next year that combines the preschool with the kindergartners and only has 12 kids in the class. I think she'll will continue to grow in that setting and have amazing success. She is my amazing little miracle!

My little rain man!

Alyssa put all these puzzles together the other day. Seven puzzles in total in about 45 min. They are all 63-100 piece puzzles. One of them I started to put together the same time she started one....she finished hers and I was only half done....so she helped me finish mine! It's like she memorizes the puzzle, she'll pick up a piece and knows exactly where it goes - without even looking at the picture on the box. All I can say is three words..........VEGAS OR BUST!!!!!!
