When the weather's fine

I think all the leaves changed color while I was sleeping last night. Driving through campus this morning was just beautiful--every year I'm delighted to remember how gorgeous autumn is. I think we may have to take a Sunday drive on the lake this weekend before all this loveliness fades.

Yesterday Evan had his reauthorization meeting for TSS services. The psychologist talked to Evan alone first, then he brought the rest of us in to chat. At the end of the meeting, he determined that Ev doesn't really need a TSS anymore. He's getting everything he needs at school now, and he's doing so well that he doesn't need the extra help. I was so pleased to hear this--I had gone into the meeting prepared to do battle with them to keep his hours reduced, and it was nice not to have to deal with that.

Ev will finish out with services in November, and then he'll have loads more free time after school. I think the TSS has been great in helping with social skills and things like that, but he's improved so much that he should be fine on his own now. It's just so wonderful to see this progress and know that it's getting better, that we're getting to a place where we don't have to worry so much any more.
