This is a true story about my son Matthew. When he entered Kindergarten he was not getting the services he needed on a regular basis. We failed our child because we didn't do everything we could do to ensure his success in school. We had to find a way to communicate what his needs were and why.We decided to write this book All about Matthew in hopes it would help the teachers to better understand Matthew and his history with seizures & Autism. The hardest thing a parent can do is to watch your child fail because people just dont understand him. On 6/15/2000 we took Matthew to the Child Development Unit at Children's Hospital in Pittsburgh and found out that he is Mildy Autistic.Now its not all about Matthew its about AUTISM. |
