KAIT---BETTER NEWS
Kait goes for testing---IQ and all that stuff
Her IQ has gone from 70 to 98---but of course she has been in lottsa trama--the past few years---
She is NOT being termed Traumatic Brain *Learning* Disability--
From the testing she is now a 504--under Fed. Law---as PHYSICAL DISABILITY~~~dont know if this will guarantee some $$$ for college--
They see that she needs time in testing--gets frustrated--works hard @ concentrating---understands the directions---and the fact that she needs to LEARN how to be with PEOPLE and SOCIALIZE---
Am sure when Kait hears all this--it will boost her self=esteem and validate her *being* and she will get into society like a
I am more than elated---I am so very thankful that Kait will have a wonderful normal life and that she can walk TALL and PROUD of what she has accomplished during these past 3 years--
Luve to all,
Barbara
PS. I have to speak with Lynn further---cus Kait is diagnosed as *encephalitis* this doesnt mend---it will be with her forever???
(spelling of that word questionable?)

Hi Barbara,
It is so good to hear some good news about Kait. She is making progress and I am pretty sure the act will help cover college for her. If not we will smash the old law and get them to make a new one.
Love you, Maggie

Yes, that should make her feel good that they recognize how hard she is trying.
I don't know about funding, but it will give her the time to take her exams and such. I have a friend who's son is bi-polar and he had an episode near final exam time, and was able to take the exams late. As well as access to special tutoring if needed etc.
Does she have any idea what she wants to go to college for?
