The saying "It takes a whole village to raise a child." does a good job of describing Ben's first day of Kindergarten. He had 7 adults there to make sure everything went smoothly for him (his usual team will consist of 3 main people with him at all times). I am so thankful because it went as well as it could considering how much trouble Ben has with change. And this year, the changes were everywhere (in addition to all the new people and the new room, he ended up having a last minute interpreter change too and didn't get the same woman we loved from last year).
There is still a lot of accommodations that need to be made and things that need to be figured out logistically, but overall I think he is going to be in good hands this year.

Glad to hear things sound like they are off to a good start. Sorry he won't have the same interpreter, but glad he is getting all the attention and needs addressed and you are happy and comfortable with everything!
Hello, my name is Bree Rumpke and my daughter Ella is in Ben's class. Ella is intrigued by Ben and talks about him everyday. At dinnertime we discuss our day's high and low points. Ella's low points are always when Ben misses school. We are so glad Ben is in Ella's class to teach her about children with disabilities. Even though you don't know us, Ben seems to be someone we discuss daily. Ella just loves him. Thanks, Bree Rumpke, BreeRumpke@aol.com
