making choices

Making choices (except for when it comes to videos and food) has been a challenge at times for Maxwell. So when he does clearly make a choice, it's very exciting! Yesterday he not only was pointing at the story (from his seat) but then got up and used the board to clearly state what he wanted. I was soooooooooo excited (and so was the team). Doesn't he just look so independent and grown up standing up there at the board?

Using the interactive white board, Max showed the teacher and class which story he wanted.

Being the most "petite" kiddo in the class, the additional stools and steps have helped his accessibility. Max has been a "learning process" for the team.

Getting a little "drink" during circle time.

Can you tell Max was enjoying his story selection?!?! So cute!

Love how interested he is in this activity. So focused!

charge syndrome

CHARGE syndrome is a recognizable (genetic) pattern of birth defects which occurs in about one in every 9-10,000 births worldwide. It is an extremely complex syndrome, involving extensive medical and physical difficulties that differ from child to child. The vast majority of the time, there is no history of CHARGE syndrome or any other similar conditions in the family. Babies with CHARGE syndrome are often born with life-threatening birth defects, including complex heart defects and breathing problems. They spend many months in the hospital and undergo many surgeries and other treatments. Swallowing and breathing problems make life difficult even when they come home. Most have hearing loss, vision loss, and balance problems which delay their development and communication. All are likely to require medical and educational intervention for many years. Despite these seemingly insurmountable obstacles, children with CHARGE syndrome often far surpass their medical, physical, educational, and social expectations.
