School News and Hart Walker Update

Exciting happenings for Jace at school this year. He is now in his stander 4 days a week at school during classroom time and thanks to having his own one on one assistant, he will be able to be more involved in the classroom this year. His wonderful school team has restructured his schedule so that he is more involved in the classroom than last year. He also has been observing his teachers hands and fingers while she counts and sings the goodbye song. She noticed that he is looking at his hands and trying to do the same. We love this! He wants to participate and is trying to get his body to cooperate, I am excited to see him progress this year.

The unfortunate news is his hart walker was denied by his secondary insurance as they felt he could not functionally propel the hart walker. I will be appealing this decision but he does go back to intensive therapy in just two months...it may take a little longer to get him this equipment than I would like but I am completely optimistic that he will have one within 6 months.
