Jackson had his last official day of the regular school year yesterday, so I now have a big 2nd grader!! He gets today and tomorrow off and then he starts summer school on Friday. If you didn't know, kids in special ed can go to school during the summer if the IEP team thinks they will lose skills with a long break from school. He loves school anyway so everyone is quite happy with the arrangement. He will attend 3 weeks of "school" (educational) and 3 weeks of "camp" (recreational).
Tomorrow we are getting his wheelchair and his stander repaired. His wheelchair brakes fall down onto the wheels (making it very difficult to push) if we are walking any distance. Also, his chair takes quite a bit more effort to push than the loaner chair (remember the purple chair?) did so I am hoping that they can do something to make it roll easier. His stander was actually repaired in the winter, but is again having problems. If I stand him at an angle above about 45 degrees, it will not lock into place. It ends up either creeping forward or back, which is not at all safe. At an angle below 45 degrees, it does lock into place but there is not much point at all in even putting him into the stander at that angle.
