SUMMER 2012

Disappointing news:
  1. Classes began last Thursday, but DoE has not sent a teacher yet...
  2. Therapies for Summer have been cancelled from normal hours. It will be difficult to place them at what DoE calls "normal 8:00am to 3:00pm school hours" as Deirdre has a full morning and afternoon schedule. DoE fails to acknowledge her need for respiratory therapy/treatment every morning, which takes away 2 hour each morning... More days go into the chest of days owed by DoE for teaching, SLP, PT and OT. 
  3. Denial for hippotherapy from insurance, basically claiming lack of coverage for that therapy and because it is in an out of network facility.

Good news:
  1.  Camp at the Newark Museum began on Monday July 9th. Deirdre is very happy about it, and already looking forward to more fun stuff. Since she only attends in the afternoon, she gets all the crafts done in the morning at her peers naptime. The diva won't miss anything.
  2. Deirdre won a vacation getaway of 4 days that soon will come into effect. We are all excited about this award, a prize won from the Joseph Lillo SMA Foundation for Children. Thank you guys!
  3. Deirdre will soon have her official hippotherapy evaluation thanks to the contribution of some close friends.  
 In process:
  1. Summer promises many exciting things, and it will close with our diva's 5th Birthday Celebration! Yes, Deirdre will turn 5 years old on August 17th,  and we declare the weekend that follows her birthday a Divalicious Weekend Birthday Bash!
  2. Make a Wish will make Deedee's wish come true just around Fall's end. Stay tuned for more details!
