Yep, still diploma track. Easy? No way. Will he achieve a regular diploma? Don't know. But we advocated for our district to "allow" the State General Education diploma to be recognized and the School Board "accepted". Check your district diploma options!Jan Steck Huffmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02850626523693173636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14748213.post-64148888910896561732011-05-26T12:30:22.171-05:002011-05-26T12:30:22.171-05:00I love this post!

So much of what you have said is what we have experienced with our 10 year old daughter, also a "person first" with Down syndrome. <br /><br />Rock.On.Mom.Of.Nash!! Don't give up and do not, by any means, lower your expectations for your son because of someone else. You know him well.

Sheesh, is he even allowed to have said that? I find it so incredibly frustrating to hear time and time again, stories of schools (teachers, administrators, therapists) telling parents that their child *can't* do something, especially if they haven't had the experience of working directly *with* that child. Nash sounds like an amazing young man, whose possibilities are limitless, as long as no one's placing those limits on him.Beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14963099760885760598noreply@blogger.com
