I received a phone call this morning. Tracy from the Regional Center (a girl I went to school with at West County believe it or not...small world!) called to tell me that the coordinator we have been using for over 3 years will not be getting the certification we had expected. Basically, we are without a leader. It's actually been a long time coming and we have been paying Matt out of pocket since August, but all in hopes that his funding would go through anytime. Looks like that funding won't and it's time to make big decisions. What is strange and amazing is that we've been moving toward an end to our ABA team for a little while and just yesterday had a meeting with our "girls" and had said that we were slowing down and making it a goal that ABA will end permanently at the end of summer. I think now it will be end of this school year. Evan still has a way to go but he's doing so well. I don't know if it's going to be possible to get him to a point where we can "fix" everything and who knows where that line is anyway. He's still not completely potty trained which is our biggest hurdle right now, but that is because he doesn't want to be potty trained. He's perfectly capable but unwilling. He is a quirky little kid who still flips lights and zones out when you start asking him questions but I can't think of any programs we can do with him that will help those issues. I am trying to come to terms with the fact that there will be a point where we have to just say we've done a great job and put 100 percent into this. Now we have to just work with him as parents and do our best. Hopefully we've gotten there and I'll be able to look back and feel confident and comfortable with ending it in May.
