Welcome to our new family!

We'd like to extend a warm welcome to a delightful new boy Finn and his family. I got to meet with Finn and mom last week and they have decided to enroll for 3 days! Hooray! Ashley and I are really getting excited for the program to begin this September!

Ashley and I have been busy pulling together the administrative stuff too. Paperwork should be ready to go out once I get back from vacation. We're both eager to get back to working on the space! It's going to get worse before it gets better, but the end result will be worth the wait! :)

I attended a Birth to Three Committee meeting tonight sponsored by the CDSC (CT Down Syndrome Congress). It was an exciting meeting as we're hoping to help make some changes in the Birth to Three system here in the state. For those of you who don't know, Birth to Three is the State of CT's early intervention system. Because kids age out so quickly we feel the system/state is not being held accountable for providing what children with special needs in the state are entitled to. Although I have joined this committee through the CDSC because I have a child with Down syndrome, this has long been a mission of mine as someone in the field for many years now. I hope for once, we can really make a difference.
