Our triplets were sent to Amos Cottage to aid in research of the development of preemies. Once they turned 3, two of our children were developing normally and one of our sons was not. I do not know what we would have done without the wonderful early intervention Andrew received. I always had a gut feeling that something was not quite right. I kept researching and pushing for answers because I knew that early internvention was key. Andrew started in a half-day preschool program for speech/language delay. An occupational therapist came to his 'regular' preschool several times a week, we had an ISFP (Individualized Family Service Plan) and now, in a mainstream school, Andrew has an IEP (Individualized Education Plan) that will follow him all the way through high school graduation. <br /><br />I did not know that all of this even existed free-of-charge (at least it was 8 years ago) for children that qualified for services. I would suggest to ANY mother or father that has a 'gut' feeling to go with it...embrace it and tackle it...it will be challenging but it will be worth it for your child and your family in the long run. <br /><br />Our family has learned how we can help Andrew with his ADHD and Aspergers - all through the knowledgeable people at Brenner's/WFU/Amos Cottage. We are now involved with ABC of NC (Deveoplental Agency in Winston-Salem) and Dr. Klinepeter is on the Board of Directors. It is another great resource and I can't say enough about the staff there either. <br /><br />If any of you out there need someone to talk to about any of this, I feel like I have 'been there, done that' and would love to help you in any way that I can! ktouchstone@triad.rr.com<br /><br />Kristie TouchstoneKristiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00782344681420519427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8702413611645203439.post-78918513734181086872010-07-29T14:27:22.872-04:002010-07-29T14:27:22.872-04:00Thank you Brenner and TSP!
