This is a great story. I think this service should be implemented all around the country. Oftentimes, I worry about this. With Malik becoming bigger & stronger outsiders or authority figures who are not familiar w/his disability could mistake his behavior negatively.

NEW SCHOOL YEAR
Hello All,
It's so good 2talk 2evry1 again, how have you been?? Well, as u knoe Summer is definitely ova!!! And school has officially begun. Malik had an exciting summer but, I must admit I am looking forward 2the new school year!
We have a new Speech Therapist this year (yeeeeaaaaa) I spoke w/the new therapist she seems really knowledgeable and eager 2work w/Malik. Most importantly she came highly recommended by Maliks's teacher Mrs. Jilliett.
The therapist has her own practice and (check this out) she has a staff of occupational therapist also! ...I am very excited about Malik receiving therapy outside of his school environment, and looking forward to a new relationship !
School so far has been good. Malik gets up every morning with a renewed vigor (which is really shocking) I cant help recalling all the times he would have a hard time getting up and being motivated!
I think a lot of his excitement comes from riding the school bus again!!!!
And, we finally found Malik a wonderful afterschool program . It's near our home, clean, and the staff really really care about Malik he's making great friends! The Afteschool is called "Serving One of Us" its a great program! In the near future I would like do some fundraising for them. This way we could have a great summer program for the kids!
Anywho, here's to the New school year! hoping for the best year yet !
