First day of school tomorrow

I'm very excited as I just received more detailed ENKI material for the home school program I've chosen for Ian (and Lane). Tomorrow will be the first day of school. It's really very simple for at this stage of development for both of them, it's really about maintaining a daily rhythm and providing opportunities for neurological growth through movement, primarily sensory integration. We will include creative play (inside and outside), exercise and sensory integration activities, and stories. RDI will fit beautifully into the daily rhythm and I think both boys will flourish. I have a great team ready to go, it's our "village" providing a rich, nourishing (my new favorite word) environment for our two beautiful boys. I know this blog is about Ian but Ian's family is such a big part of his life, I have to mention Lane too.

We have the team collaborating (teacher, OT, RDI consultant, care givers, and most importantly Mom and Dad), the tools to execute (RDI, ENKI, Masgutova Method) and great hope for the year ahead.

  1. How exciting Diane! I imagine having focus, direction and an agenda for everyday schooling should be so helpful for everyone involved. Congratulations my dear. Please give Ian and Lane hugs and kisses from their Aunt Nancy. Love you so much!! xoo

  2. Hi Diane
    Ian's journey fascinates me and yet frustrates me at the same time. I have so many unanswered questions and live on the other side of the planet so I can't just pop by for a chat or to lend a helping hand.
    Thanks for setting up this bog and I look forward to reading more about Ian's progess - the ups and downs.
