Thank you so much for your kind words. They really helped.
I had to explain to a coworker why it would be in the best interest of a student if they did not work together next year. The student with autism has been very dependent on this adult and has shown great growth this year because he is learning to work with other.
"You did a wonderful job bringing him up to this point in his life. He grew so much with your help. You have laid a great foundation for
him to build on but you can only bring him so far.
Now it is time to let him learn to work with others and expand his
interactions with the world."
Great pearls of wisdom right?
Now if I could only learn to listen to what I know is true.
