We have just two weeks left until Joe goes off to school. I've spoken to other parents who have sent their children away; one mom had to send her child to residential when he was only five years old. And he was her only child. Unimaginable.
As a community advocate I spend my days helping other people solve their problems. I wish I had a better solution to Joe's needs. Tony at Devereaux School says the children do adjust to their new home, but I remember one young man who came up to him while he was showing me around the campus, saying "Tony, when can I go home?"
It just broke my heart. My son, being non-verbal, can't even ask.
