Mom School

Mom School.  I refuse to be associated with the whack jobs out there who say they home school and call family outings field trips, or send their kids to someone else to be educated and call it co-op.

I teach Devin, because honestly, I"m the only one that can do it right.  Not knocking public school teachers.  I am one, Darin is one.  Just that they are not able to make the accommodations she needs.  

Last night I ordered some abc/123 stamps so that when she needs to write one of the compulsion letters (like aeutgkqy or 89), she can just stamp them.  Right now, she tells me when she needs to write them and I do it.  I'm really excited to get them in the mail.  They said it wouldn't be until the middle of January, though.  :(  She's doing super well with using the laptop to do her spelling words and dictation, as well as writing assignments. 

Other than that, there haven't been any positive changes.  We're thinking we need to up the meds.  She's actually added a few more rituals since we started the meds.  Last month, the NP upped the ADHD meds.  Although she is completing most of her assignments faster, that could also be due to doing it early in the morning before she's worn out and the meds have worn off.
