Tym at Coastline ABI Program - Day 193
Day 184 - Tuesday 04/01/08
We recently received notice that Tym has been accepted to Coastline Community College’s Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) program! We went to an orientation on Sunday (03/30/08) and are very impressed with what the program has to offer. They have placed Tym in a group with peers that have the same setbacks and challenges that Tym does. Tym started school this Monday (03/31/08). He has to be there from 8:30am - 12:30pm every Monday - Thursday. We have an appointment at the DMV for Tym’s license test in 2 weeks. In the meantime, he will be taking the Access Bus to school.
Tym has been accepted to the Coastline ABI Program! Congratulations!
Dinner with the family. Thanks for visiting Grandma and Grandpa!
Starting school is going to present quite a challenge. The routine is rigorous and pretty unforgiving as far as absences are concerned. The classes focus on adaptations, strategies, and goals. Tym has a new notebook, his journal (aka - memory strategy), and will be receiving a PDA which they will teach him how to use. One of Tym’s classmates spoke at the orientation. She has been in the program for over 2 years. She was very positive, articulate, and encouraging for all the new students. We are grateful to be involved in such a quality program.
We also had the opportunity to visit with Tym’s parents as they wanted to come down for the orientation. Thanks for coming out, we hope you enjoyed your time down here.
