\n<\/a>On January 4th Max started a new preschool that specializes in helping kids that have special needs. As part of going there he gets therapy that pushes him to overcome some of his challenges related to being on the spectrum of Autism.<\/p>\n

What’s great about the school is that the teachers are well trained to work with children like Max, and they all have degrees in different areas of expertise. He goes there 4 days a week for the first half of the day, and they come by the house to pick him up. Around lunch time they bus him back to the other preschool where he and Max have been going for almost a year now.

Because the school gets funding from the State of IL, the cost to us is only $60 per year! That in itself is reason enough to stay in our current home for a few more years.<\/p>\n

Max is still adjusting to some degree, but he’s getting used to it. He likes taking the bus and has no problem watching us as he drives away.<\/p>\n
