Student Feedback for Amy

"Everything positive."

- Anna from Poestenkill, NY

I may not organize this well, because I'm full of emotion about it - all GREAT. Maybe some bullet-points:

-MY SON FELT HOPEFUL afterward! That's what it's all about. He hadn't called his dad (who lives in GA) on his own since 2008, and he called him to tell him about it and how good he felt. That's a big deal.

-She got to know my son, and our situation. Amy had a clue (finally someone!!) about disability (mine as a parent), and knew how to help us with that as part of the equation. She really took time to understand my son, and it felt that she *cared* about him. I could go on and on with superlatives from this one!

-We have a working plan to start with, and we did start right away.

I am so glad she understands the need for firmness (about computer use / getting work done) AND about feeding and feeding and feeding positives (he thrives on positives).

I wish I could be more coherent and say so much more - it's just so exciting to see my son HOPEFUL. How huge is that??? To give a kid who wants to succeed, who's smart but struggling and in pain, HOPE! That's everything.
