I honestly never thought I’d say this, but Nicholas is really enjoying school. Reading has become much easier for him – thanks to the suggestions you’ve made. We go back often to the recommendations from the report you wrote – it really helps us all remember where we were just a few months ago and how far Nick has come since his evaluation. The other day, he finished a book and said how much he enjoyed it – another first! Thanks for all the assistance.
