I just became a registered nurse, and my ten-year-old son is infant-like, has frequent meltdowns, and cannot stand without support. He is missing a piece of DNA (chromosome 9q22.2) but we are unsure if it made him disabled. He has a diagnosis of severely multiply impaired, paucity of white brain matter, partial agenesis of the corpus callosum, microcephaly, deformities of the ankle and foot, and Autism.

Extended school year denied
I had a meeting with Andy's teacher and therapists. I was asking if Andy was eligible to have an extended year, because he would get one if he was in a severely impaired program. They all felt he was meeting his goals and doesn't show regression during the two week breaks. I feel even with their data, he still would benefit from a longer school year due to his severity. For now, they will allow him to go to school through June, which is what they normally offer. He will attend therapy that we pay for in the summer. However, I feel it should be offered to him through school, but for now the answer is no.
