Evaluations

So today I met to go over Avery's recent annual evaluation results. Not exactly a new experience as I am pretty seasoned in this area. The funny thing though is that it never gets easier to see how "behind" your child is compared to their same aged peers. Yes, I know, they are only numbers and it is only a snapshot in time of what a child can really do...blah, blah, blah, I have spewed this same speech to many families throughout my career (talk about life coming full circle).  Of course it is true, those tests are nothing more than a gauge to mark progress and are truly not representative of what my she can actually do, but it is hard to see it on paper.  I just try to focus on the progress made regardless of how it compares to others and on that note GO AVERY! You are doing amazing!
