#like she told me she pretty much learnt to draw last year bec he was obsessed with a) puppets and b) super specific topics

one of today’s feel good moments was when a mum of one of my students (who has adhd and autism) talked to me this morning and was SO excited that for the first time ever, she’d booked a single parent/teacher meeting time because she felt like that was all that was necessary for him 🥺

#she’s always booked a double time bc it’s always taken so long to discuss his needs and how he’s going #and how we’re all supporting him #she’s such a lovely mum too she’s SO supportive of his hyperfixations and special interests #like she told me she pretty much learnt to draw last year bec he was obsessed with a) puppets and b) super specific topics #that you can’t just GET puppets for #so she’d draw him the puppets #she also sent me a rly nice email abt his individual learning plan/goals bc she and her husband both thoughts it so clearly represented him #and where he’s at #and I adore the kid too he’s such a great kid #and he HAS come so far he was hardly reading and writing at the start of the year #and he just wrote his own 7 page book and ‘donated’ it to the school library and he’s stoked that the office lady put a real barcode on it #and entered it in the library system <3
