School solutions

It looks like we have found the right school for Charlotte! (In fact, her audio Doc was right and we have had a choice of schools for her.) She has been offered a place at a local primary school that has a nursery attached. The principal is wonderful, she asked me to come for a meeting to make sure they could meet any particular needs Charlotte has. After we discussed any classroom modifications (I said nothing in nursery aside from dark glasses), we walked around the school so the I could choose the room that I thought would be the most suitable lighting for her (love!). When I expressed concern about some steps that were red and marked with a black tread, she said, "We'll change it." What a delightful environment! So supportive and caring! They are even going to supply her with her own iPad! I am so looking forward to her starting there in September. I will be meeting with her classroom staff towards the end of the school year, they are going to set up the meeting to include her VI teacher from the council. I think I will take the Achromatopsia.info teacher's guide for them.
