Summer Diagnostic

Upon calling the school, I was informed that my timing was perfect because they were just about to start a summer diagnostics program the 2nd week of June.

Essentially Owen would attend this diagnostic program for 4 weeks and then we would receive documentation from the school as to what special services Owen qualified for if any.

Owen and I both experienced seperation anxiety that first week, because he had never gone anywhere without me except for our relative's houses. Even though he cried when I left him, they assured me that as soon as I left he was happy to play with the toys and other activities.

When the session was complete we received an IEP (Individual Education Plan) for the Early Intervention Program through Walled Lake Schools which would start that fall.
