I called Karen the Diagnostician this morning to touch base and see where we were in the process. She has the preliminary report and told me off the record that Ty will qualify for services in Math. On a much happier note, she told me that he scored off the charts in several areas. His letter recognition, reading fluency, and some other language skills registered 3-4 standard deviations ABOVE the norm. His long term retrieval was very low, but I think we all expected that.
Now, we all have an idea what Ty's STRENGTHS are. There will be a new focus on building on his strengths as well as his weaknesses. I feel that we can all really boost his self esteem and confidence in those areas he excels. So, it's a happy day at the Thornton casa. Peace and love~
