Comments on: Time to Talk About Graham http://danatreat.com/2009/08/time-to-talk-about-graham/ A slice of my life as a vegetarian personal chef and mom to two young boys.

He looks so much like Randy and he couldn't be any cuter. I truly believe that the people who work with children that need special attention are doing it out of love, respect and passion for those that require a little extra support. It's my pray for Graham that he meets those teachers so he may continue to smile and blossom. Thank you for sharing your wonderful son. He looks so much like Randy and he couldn’t be any cuter.

But from knowing you through your blog, I know that you enjoy your children and that you are a wonderful mother - thats all that matters. I'm really happy to see so many supportive and lovely comments to this post :) Dana, I cant even imagine how this must be for you because I dont have kids.

Stay strong! You'll need your strength to be the best advocate you can for him in a system that has very limited resources. your little man is beyond special…he’s exceptional! he sounds utterly delightful.

Even after hearing about Graham firsthand from you, reading it makes me cry. And, I'm not crying out of sadness but because your child sounds absolutely lovely and the love you have for him is inspiring and very very special. I think Graham is going to do really well at his program where people are looking out for him and treating him with the care he deserves. I cannot wait to meet him! Dana.

Keep the faith, and remember that strength is found where you least expect it. Sometimes in the notes of strangers...

We had him tested and he was 18 months behind his peers. We were recommended to put him in a private preschool, even if I was a stay-at-home mom. We did. At five he started kindergarten and did continue to see the speech therapy. We are so glad we did because at one point he started catching up and by the end of grade 6 he was in the tops of the class. He is 15 yrs old now and had since been switched from French to English full-time (because we had to move West). He had problem learning the language, at first, but he is doing well. Now, since last year, he had decided on his own to learn Spanish also. He works hard, probably more than his friends but continue to be successful. He is not top of his class now, he struggles a bit, but he is doing fine. When he was young he said that it was hard to go to school because he was behind in speech and reading. I think you are doing the right thing to find answers and fights was is best for your son. My youngest son did not start speaking until he was about 4.
