I know, I’ve neglected my blog this week and I apologize…life’s been downright crazy. And then, I wake up this morning to snow! We’ve gone this entire winter without a lick of snow, and now that winter is coming to an end, we get dumped on.
My youngest son had his screening this morning….of course, he was the picture of sweetness and charm. He charmed everyone in the room.
Bottom line, they don’t see signs of a bigger issue (like Aspergers). He tested very high on everything, and in order for them to show a concern, he’d have to have tested low in at least two areas. Of course, this was only a one-hour screening, and they don’t deal with him on a day to day basis.
But, basically, they suggested that I request a specific teacher for him, and then make her aware of the areas he has struggled with during preschool…and then go from there. If during Kindergarten, he shows signs of a deficiency with social areas, they’ll re-evaluate him.
Here’s some of my favorite answers from him today:
They asked “What do you do if you see smoke coming out of your house?”
His answer: “Stop, drop and roll!” (said with much enthusiasm and hand flinging)
They asked “Where do you eat?” (I think they were looking for him to say, ‘table’, but, no not my son)
His answer: “Burger King!”
Oh, and when they told him to look at a pattern of words ‘very closely’, he puts his nose to the page! :D I cracked up at that one!



LOL love those answers.
Hope he has a better year next year :)
