Beautiful Moment...

I love that today I got to watch a child with autism share with classmates. It was track and field day at the school I am volunteering at, so half of the class came where I was and the other half went to track and field (because it was a 2/3 split class and only grade 3 and up do track). We watched a video about things that fly and then the students drew pictures about the video and presented them. This student made a connection with the video that he shared before going to draw and even answered questions from the other class members. I think it worked because it was a small group and because it was a topic that was of interest. I just thought it was beautiful to watch.

It's always amazing when you get to see those moments!

It's too bad those moments are so few for those kids in the class room setting...oh the generalization of the school system? It must of been a wonderful moment for you to see though. Keep up the great work you are doing!
