Today, my son walked across the stage with his friends in the class of 2021. Had you asked me even six years ago if that was possible, I’d have chuckled at you.
Going back to early 2007, when he first started in Austin ISD, he was non-verbal. He was diagnosed with Autism at 3. He could recite entire TV shows that he liked, but basic back and forth conversation? Nope.
He worked with speech therapists, his amazing team of teachers and aides. He began to use pictures to tell us what he wanted, and slowly turned that into language.
Special thanks to Principal John Rocha, his principal at Menchaca Elementary and at Bailey Middle School. That man was such a blessing to our family.
